  1. On 8 February 2011 the UK IGF held its spring messaging event at Central Hall Westminster, with keynotes from Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, and Martha Lane Fox, the UK's Digital Champion.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Three parallel workshops tackled cloud computing, access and the future of internet content \u2014 sharing the striking figure of 9.2 million Britons who had never been online, and debating head-on whether internet access is a human right.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. The UK's conclusion that cloud oversight should be lightweight, decentralised and non-bureaucratic became an early reference point for cloud-governance debates, and the digital-inclusion discussion still maps directly onto ageing societies everywhere.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
