Bonjour,

L'association Capucine.net est heureuse de vous informer de la mise en oeuvre du réseau de confiance numérique sur lequel pourrait s'appuyer la gouvernance de l'Internet au niveau mondial à partir du concept de l'Identité Numérique.
La radio joue un rôle très important pour le développement de l'accès à la connaissance et à la démocratie c'est pourquoi l'association met son label Capucine à votre service et vous aidera à la mesure de ses moyens. 

Cordialement
Philippe Vacheyrout
