What exactly was this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Portugal&#39;s first national IGF. On 8 July 2010, the government agency UMIC and partners gathered about 100 people at ISCTE-IUL in Lisbon for a full day on Internet freedom, neutrality and content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Did it produce anything?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Yes \u2014 the &#39;Messages from Lisbon&#39; booklet, sent to the UN IGF and EuroDIG. That &#39;national voices into the global debate&#39; formula still defines the series today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The timing. Putting net neutrality and media literacy at the centre of a national multistakeholder dialogue in 2010 predated much of the EU&#39;s rule-making, and the series has run ever since.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Portugal IGF?
