Joint Statement
A Technical Community Coalition for Multistakeholderism Statement to the GDC Rev1 Meeting Tuesday 21 May 2024 at 10am Eastern Time (New York) Good morning Chair, co-facilitators, all I am speaking on behalf of a group of aligned members of the technical community with a long history of involvement in multistakeholder Internet governance (named below). We offer our thanks to the co-facilitators and other drafters of the Rev.1 version of the Global Digital Compact zero draft. There are several improvements we welcome:
We suggest further strengthening the role of the Internet Governance Forum in follow up and review - as a core process arising from WSIS, the IGF and its diverse community can do more than "amplify" the Compact's work. The WSIS+20 review allows for such an enhanced role to be developed over the next eighteen months. Thank you for your attention. List of organisations signing on:
