    \n
  1. The 5th ArmIGF met on 10 October 2019 at the Armenia Marriott Hotel \u2014 the core of the 'N2 Forum' week right after WCIT 2019, with ICANN CEO G\u00f6ran Marby and RIPE NCC's Axel Pawlik both at the opening.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. The agenda: data localisation ('Earth or cloud for the data?'), 'lawful access' pressure on encryption, how to structure a national cybersecurity centre, and local video content. The first Youth IGF ran alongside.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. A small state pulling a whole week of internet diplomacy into its capital was the real story \u2014 and the data-location and encryption debates map directly onto government-cloud and lawful-access arguments everywhere.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
