Net Neutrality \u2014 Testing the 2014 Telecom Law and Zero-Rating<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Mesa 2 &#39;Net neutrality&#39; (17 February, 12:15\u201313:45)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neutral data treatment, traffic management, zero-rating and community networks were the stated topics \u2014 a stress test right after the 2014 telecom law wrote neutrality principles into Mexican statute [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Regulator IFT held two seats in the Grupo de Iniciativa, putting the rule-maker on the same agenda as civil society and industry [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Zero-rating was exploding across Latin America, previewing the regional fights (such as over Internet.org) of the following years [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Rehearsing Rights Collisions \u2014 Transparency v. Privacy, Expression v. Copyright<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Mesa 3 &#39;Tensions among rights on the internet&#39; (17 February, 16:00\u201318:00)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two case scenarios \u2014 access\/transparency versus privacy, and free expression versus copyright \u2014 turned abstract rights talk into concrete exercises [1]<\/li>\n<li>A one-hour &#39;introduction to internet governance&#39; opened the day, institutionalising onboarding for newcomers [1]<\/li>\n<li>The opening ceremony rotated welcomes across all five sectors, in classic multistakeholder liturgy [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. The IANA Transition and Twelve Years of Debate \u2014 the Keynotes<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Keynotes: &#39;Twelve years of internet governance debate&#39; (17 Feb, Ra\u00fal Echeberr\u00eda) and &#39;The IANA functions transition&#39; (18 Feb, Rodrigo de la Parra and Le\u00f3n Felipe S\u00e1nchez)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ISOC&#39;s Ra\u00fal Echeberr\u00eda distilled twelve years of governance debate since WSIS, situating the Di\u00e1logos in global history [1]<\/li>\n<li>The IANA stewardship transition \u2014 2015&#39;s biggest governance file \u2014 was unpacked by ICANN&#39;s de la Parra and CCWG-Accountability&#39;s Le\u00f3n Felipe S\u00e1nchez [1]<\/li>\n<li>Parry Aftab of WiredSafety opened day two on children&#39;s online safety, bridging policy and parenting [1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4.

Ironically, this edition is the last one verifiable [1][2][4]<\/li>\n<li>The stated principles \u2014 multisectoral, neutral, inclusive, and diversely funded to prevent any sector&#39;s dominance \u2014 framed it as &#39;an event of all and for all&#39; [1][2][4]<\/li>\n<li>The official site remains frozen at this edition and the UN NRI record lists the initiative as Inactive; even hosting the 2016 global IGF in Guadalajara did not revive the national series [1][2][4]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. Why a museum?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The National Museum of Anthropology \u2014 Mexico&#39;s cultural flagship \u2014 hosted a free public event, deliberately pulling governance talk out of expert circles, together with a beginners&#39; session and full video publication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. The biggest topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The IANA stewardship transition, 2015&#39;s defining governance file, explained first-hand by ICANN figures \u2014 sharing top billing with net neutrality under the new telecom law.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The design was exemplary \u2014 a standing 20-member committee, diversified funding \u2014 yet the series still stopped here. Institutions alone don&#39;t sustain a national IGF; a working secretariat and steady funding do.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Mexico IGF?
