Mega No
The Mega No Movement (port. Mega Não) was initiated in 2009 as a digital campaign against Bill 84/99 that sought to categorize Internet crimes. A group of academics, software developers and activists opposed the project as a consequence of potential threats to fundamental rights pertaining freedom of expression and privacy. The Movement was called a "meta-movement"because it incorporated several kinds of activities, mainly through online channels, ranging from studies and technical evaluations to campaigns and online petitions using social networks like Twitter. About 23 different institutions signed the manifesto against the law project, which ended up being substituted by a new text on internet crimes that was backed by greater consensus, and the Internet Civic Framework which establishes the rights and duties of internet users in Brazil.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
