Six Participant-Driven Workshops \u2014 From Sextortion to Internet Standards<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Six workshops including &#39;Internet freedom through Internet infrastructure?&#39;, &#39;Decrypting sextortion&#39;, &#39;Let&#39;s break down silos in cybersecurity and cybercrime!&#39;, &#39;Democracy by Design&#39; and &#39;Building trust and confidence: implementing Internet standards&#39;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As at the global IGF, participants set the agenda: Internet freedom via infrastructure, better cooperation between enforcers and Internet firms, decrypting sextortion, democracy by design, and implementing Internet standards [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Three of the six \u2014 sextortion, breaking down cyber silos, and standards \u2014 went on to run as Dutch-organised workshops at IGF Guadalajara that December [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3.

What did the meeting decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nothing binding \u2014 but its conclusions formed the official brief for the 25-member Dutch delegation to the UN IGF in Guadalajara, hard-wiring national debate into international negotiation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most striking moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Envoy Uri Rosenthal calling Internet governance &#39;a vigorous global fight&#39; \u2014 a frontline diplomat&#39;s account of the contest between an open Internet and state control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Carrying national workshops straight into the UN IGF, and treating a teenage debate as formal delegation input, are concrete models any country&#39;s IGF community can copy.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Netherlands IGF?
