We asked her what the main achievements were of 2013, regarding the work of civil society in that country in relation to Internet governance. Here is her reply.

Since 2012, the RedPaTodos collective and the Karisma Foundation have shown interest in the issue of Internet governance. For this reason, we have participated in IGF and preparatory meetings. For further discussion, we formed a multistakeholder group on this subject. During 2013, this initiative was consolidated with the participation of civil society organizations (Colnodo, FLIP, AGEIA DENSI Colombia, Karisma Foundation and RedPaTodos), the private sector (.CO and Google), government interest (both MinTic and the CRC have accepted to participate in future meetings) and some people associated to academia (University of the Andes, Javeriana University and Jorge Tadeo Lozano University).

The main objective for 2014 is to include the issue of Internet governance into the government’s agenda and to further the discussion in order to ensure its presence in regional and global forums, representing the country’s position.
