It was a half-day kick-off to introduce internet governance to the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was discussed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. A report-back from that year&#39;s IGF in Istanbul, plus a stocktake of Colombia&#39;s issues: net neutrality, online violence against women, and recommendations on the controversial &#39;Ley Lleras&#39; copyright\/intermediary-liability bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A.
