  1. After a three-year silence, the fifth Belarus IGF reconvened in Minsk on 15 November 2023 with a record 500-plus participants from government, business, international organisations, NGOs, academia and the technical community.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Under the theme 'The Internet We Want', five tracks covered internet trends, false-agenda formation in media and social networks, digital literacy as the foundation of information security, cyber threats, and personal data protection.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Read against the Steering Committee's 2020 declaration that a safe and ethical forum was impossible, this restart \u2014 with ICANN and RIPE NCC executives on stage \u2014 was a revival, but a changed one.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
