I will be interesting to know how he selected those 74 questions out of the 3 million which he received. Anyway, it was a good initiative, and I believe that the other heads of state should follow him in such initiatives.

There were massive call centres receiving and processing questions. A lot of questions would be on similar topics. My guess is that the most asked about topics were selected and then they chose the best-formulated questions on each of those topics.
