Firstly with its servants, temporary workers, retired servants and union members, the "Dialogues" resulted in more than ten thousand instances of participation and contribution from thematic groups and subgroups, in 50 meetings conducted face-to-face or online. These meetings generated guidelines for the IBGE, based on thousands of proposals detailed on more than two thousand pages. The results were presented in the first "IBGE 90 Dialogues Meeting", held on November 16 and 17, in Parada de Lucas, the biggest IBGE branch in Brazil, now in need of remodeling, among other actions.
