A Technical Community Coalition for Multistakeholderism Statement at second stakeholder consultation on Revision 1 of Global Digital Compact Friday 21 June 2024 at 13:00 UTC Good morning Chair, co-facilitators, all I am speaking on behalf of a group of aligned members of the Internet technical community with a long history of involvement in multistakeholder Internet governance (named below). We appreciate this opportunity to participate in this stakeholder consultation and reiterate our thanks to the co-facilitators and other drafters of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) First Revision (Rev. 1) as shared in our intervention to the stakeholder consultation on 21 May. We reiterate our support for several aspects of Rev. 1, including:
On follow up and review, we suggest further reducing duplication of forums and initiatives. The GDC should leverage existing multi-stakeholder processes and forums. In particular, we suggest further strengthening the role of the IGF ? as a core process arising from WSIS, the IGF and its diverse community can do much more than "amplify" the Compact's work. The WSIS+20 review next year allows this role to be developed. We reiterate that member states are a crucial but insufficient group to achieve the Compact's shared goals. Success requires all the stakeholders involved in internet governance, on an equal footing, to fulfill their roles and responsibilities together. As advocated in the NETmundial+10 Multistakeholder Statement, we also ask for stakeholder consultations to be scheduled in a way that enables non-governmental stakeholders adequate time to consider newly revised drafts of the GDC. It would also be helpful for the co-facilitators ? and wider UN-system ? to consider how to enable stakeholders from diverse geographical regions and timezones to meaningfully engage beyond the stakeholder consultations (for example, by allowing comment submissions by video and text, and by publishing recorded sessions and input). Thank you for your attention. List of organisations signing on
