[global-south] next steps from Tor Meeting

[cla]

Hi Alison, hi all,

I’m Claudio Ruiz, former Derechos Digitales and now at Creative Commons working on global strategy. Talking just on my own capacity just wanted to say happy to help, provide some experience on the field and open to brainstorm on a GS Tor meeting. 

Saludos!
