LACNIC also participated in the IGF session on Enhanced Cooperation in LAC, during which the LACIGF initiatives, the Mexican and Colombian Governance Forums, and Argentina’s Internet Governance Dialogues were presented

The stand set up by the NRO in Brazil is also worth highlighting, as it became a key meeting place for most IGF participants. There, the RIRs promoted the bottom-up, multistakeholder model, handing out printed materials and showing a video especially created for the occasion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8WNb94Yydk
