Is this the &#39;Mexico IGF&#39;?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Its real name is the &#39;Di\u00e1logos&#39; \u2014 Internet Governance Dialogues. The UN records it as Mexico&#39;s national IGF, but only this 2013 edition and a 2015 second edition ever ran before the initiative went dormant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. How did it capture its moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It debated mass surveillance in the year of Snowden, telecom policy in the year of Mexico&#39;s constitutional reform, and IP during the TPP talks \u2014 2013&#39;s entire internet-policy agenda in one room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. A ccTLD registry catalysing national dialogue is a pattern relevant to any country, and the series stopping at two editions is a standing lesson about sustainability.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Mexico IGF?
