What kind of meeting was this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A.

What made it special?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Poland was about to host the 2020 global IGF, so this was the final national meeting before the big year \u2014 a warm-up for the country&#39;s multistakeholder machinery (the global event later went virtual due to COVID-19).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A.
