Re: [DC3] Excellent news from Brazil

It’s excellent news. I’m very happy for the CN community in Brazil, this will definitely constitute a step in the right direction.  It’s very interesting how Brazil and Mexico have advanced in the policy ecosystem faster than most. Apart from the obvious truth that each country is different, it’s  definitely worth taking a look at what particular steps are more representative to the goal of formal recognition and adequate characterization.  Thanks for the update Luca, hoping to see more from Brazil soon!

Hope that does not take away the fact that the government still indulges in non democratic practices and is radical :) That is unnecessary.
