    \n
  1. On 15 May 2023 the sixth IGF MKD met in Skopje and online \u2014 a restart after the 2022 gap, and the first edition under new coordinator Marko Paloski, a young IT engineer.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Two panels anchored the day: the sociological and legal aspects of AI (IP and copyright) amid the generative-AI boom, and real cyber-attack cases from the region; the RIPE chair and an ICANN board member joined online.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. It is the record of a generational handover and of a national IGF rebuilding after a pause \u2014 the sustainability problem every volunteer-run forum, Japan's included, knows well.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Edition<\/td>\n6th annual meeting (There was no standalone 2022 edition; the founding coordinator's statement describes a single 'annual event for 2022\/23', and the official archive has no 2022 page)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Venue<\/td>\nSkopje, hybrid with online participation (The agenda opens with 'welcome remarks from FINKI', suggesting the computer-science faculty hosted, though no venue is stated explicitly; an earlier catalogue claim of an Ohrid venue is wrong \u2014 the meeting was in Skopje)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
