From this Friday (25), The Brazilian government will publish the text of the new 'Internet Constitution', the Marco Civil, in English, on the website of the NETMundial conference.

According to the Congressman Alessandro Molon (Workers' Party), the aim is to help other countries in the drafting of their own legislation regarding internet use.

'During NETMundial, several countries asked us to make the text available,' Molon told Folha over the telephone. 'It's a collaborative process which will help each country to draft their own Marco Civil, according to their own particular circumstances, and this will take us one step closer to worldwide internet legislation.'
