What did the meeting decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nothing binding \u2014 but the discussion was distilled, via live mind-mapping, into Dutch recommendations delivered to the UN IGF in Baku.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the highlight?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. MEP Marietje Schaake&#39;s keynote: the European Parliament&#39;s leading Internet-freedom advocate on how the Netherlands should defend an open Internet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A.
