"The Project is currently in a period of public comment until May 29th, during which time any citizen will be able to read the project proposal and submit his/her suggestions to it. The first draft of the Project will be presented at a public hearing at SERPRO's headquarters (Brazil's IT state company) in Brasília on May 19 (Tuesday). Even more cool, the hearing will be held as a national video-conference with 28 cities in Brazil participating. After the draft is presented, the public will be able to directly interact with the public officials from the Ministries of Communication, Science & Technology and Planning about the project."
