What stood out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Own-script domains: Ukraine&#39;s Cyrillic .\u0443\u043a\u0440 had been delegated by IANA that February, and the forum devoted a section to nurturing it \u2014 the same debate every non-Latin-script country has had.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The forum&#39;s core question \u2014 freedom from rights or from obligations? \u2014 is the prototype of today&#39;s platform-regulation debates. Seven weeks later the Maidan uprising began, and Ukraine&#39;s internet politics entered a turbulent era.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Ukraine IGF?
