ICTs and the Environment \u2014 Putting E-Waste on the National IGF Agenda<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Panel &#39;ICTs and the Environment&#39; (4 Oct, 11:30-1:00, moderator: tech journalist Mauricio Jaramillo)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting from the environment ministry&#39;s June 2017 policy on electrical and electronic waste, the panel examined how tech-waste disposal, reuse and user habits were outpacing public debate [1]<\/li>\n<li>Speakers came from the ministry&#39;s hazardous-substances unit, the PC-refurbishment programme Computadores para Educar, and Corporaci\u00f3n Colombia Digital [1]<\/li>\n<li>An early mainstreaming of the environment-digital intersection in a national IGF, foreshadowing the series&#39; later &#39;digital environmental rights&#39; strand (2024 youth summit) [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Implementing the Digital-Security CONPES \u2014 Train in the Course, Test in the Panel<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Panel &#39;Digital Security&#39; (4 Oct, 2:30-4:00 pm, moderator: Gonzalo Romero, .CO Internet) and the full-day course on 3 October<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On implementing the digital-security CONPES with a multistakeholder approach, incident-response challenges were probed by Karisma&#39;s Carolina Botero, MinTIC, Rosario&#39;s Jeimy Cano, national CERT Colcert and Colnodo [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The previous day&#39;s course systematically covered the internet&#39;s layered model, the multistakeholder model, neutrality (including zero rating), human rights, and trends from the digital economy to IoT, open data and big data \u2014 taught by CRC, .CO, Colnodo, Karisma and the two host universities [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Opening greetings came from Chengetai Masango (UN IGF Secretariat), Alejandra Erramuspe (AGESIC Uruguay, MAG member) and Guilherme Canela (UNESCO); MinTIC&#39;s Carlos Lugo closed the forum [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What changed from earlier editions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The two-day format debuted: a full-day governance course for newcomers, then the forum proper \u2014 &#39;learn first, debate second&#39; became the series standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the hottest topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Fake news. A panel titled &#39;\u00a1\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no te callas?!&#39; had an LGBT group, independent media, government and academia debating whether criminalising online speech can ever be legitimate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Disinformation vs free expression, e-waste, and raising the legal definition of broadband all became global policy staples soon after \u2014 this is an early multistakeholder treatment of each.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Colombia IGF?
