Net Neutrality and IPv6 \u2014 The Technical Foundations of an Open, Sustainable Internet<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Aula Magna sessions: net neutrality; IPv6; security, e-trust and online fraud<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With IPv4 exhaustion looming (the IANA pool ran out in February 2011), experts debated the state and future of the IPv6 transition; conclusions were reported by Jordi Palet [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Net neutrality &#39;towards an open and sustainable Internet&#39; shared the main hall with sessions on security, e-trust and online fraud [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2.

What did the meeting decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nothing binding \u2014 it was Spain&#39;s first national IGF annual meeting where government, business and civil society talked as equals. Conclusions on nine themes were documented and carried to EuroDIG and other international fora.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why is 2011 the &#39;first&#39; edition?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The forum itself was founded in December 2008, but 2008-2010 saw thematic meetings only. 2011 was the first full annual conference gathering all topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The &#39;right to be forgotten&#39; debated here later crystallised in the EU&#39;s GDPR, which reshaped privacy law worldwide.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Spain IGF?
