The Travelling Model Reaches the Alps \u2014 A Province Takes the Baton<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Overall organisation: the Autonomous Province of Trento with IIT-CNR, the Nexa Center and ISOC Italia<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After a region (Cagliari), a research institute (Pisa) and a province (Rome), the highly autonomous Province of Trento took charge \u2014 continuity from the usual academic-technical backbone of ISOC Italia, CNR and Nexa, freshness from the changing venue [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>At the Gallerie di Piedicastello exhibition venue, the three days packed in about twenty sessions and a hundred speakers, among the densest programmes in the series [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The programme committee paired series stalwarts \u2014 Rodot\u00e0, Abba, De Martin, Laforenza, Trumpy \u2014 with the province&#39;s Sergio Bettotti, institutionalising co-management between local government and the national network [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. From Access to Net Neutrality \u2014 A Full Audit of the Core Agenda<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Thematic sessions on access, security, cultural diversity, net neutrality, technical management of the net, and users&#39; rights and duties<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The pillars \u2014 access, security, cultural diversity, net neutrality, technical management, users&#39; rights and duties \u2014 amounted to a national-context audit of the UN IGF&#39;s core agenda [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The stated goal was to design, collectively, development policies for the net suited to Italy and in harmony with international conventions \u2014 consensus itself being the deliverable [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The Nexa Center supplied topics from the academic side: open data (building on a 2010 thematic meeting), online freedom of expression and net neutrality [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Governance, Democracy, Labour and Religion \u2014 The Social Questions of 2011<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Social-theme sessions among the twenty: effects on political democracy, exploitation versus liberation of intellectual labour, the net and religious practice, and the transformation of public-sector work<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does internet governance do to the ways democracy is claimed and achieved? In the year of the Arab Spring, the net&#39;s relationship with political democracy was debated head-on [1]<\/li>\n<li>The &quot;exploitation or liberation of intellectual labour&quot; strand examined the tension between platform-mediated creative work and the commons [1]<\/li>\n<li>Sessions on religion online and the changing nature of public-sector work stretched the agenda well beyond the technical community \u2014 the edition&#39;s hallmark [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What was this meeting, exactly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The fourth Italian national IGF, hosted by the Autonomous Province of Trento: three days, about twenty sessions and a hundred speakers, from access and net neutrality to the net&#39;s effects on democracy and even religion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why a provincial city like Trento?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Because IGF Italia travels: after Cagliari, Pisa and Rome, the self-governing province stepped up \u2014 a statement that internet governance is not a capital-city speciality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. In the year of the Arab Spring, a national forum debated the net&#39;s role in democracy head-on \u2014 and its travelling, region-led format remains a model for keeping such debates decentralised.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Italy IGF?
