Admitting to having been "asleep at the wheel" regarding the GDC. There is a questionnaire out there that is only open for public comment on the structural elements of the GDC until TOMORROW March 8. There is clearly a problem in relation to the Technical Community not being separately identified in that structure. For whatever reason, ICANN is not submitting a response this year on this particular questionnaire. We don't know why and I don't think that question was answered adequately in the GeoPolitics session held just now. The link for submitting responses is below - likely too late for any coordinated response among groups that have not already coordinated on this point, but individual responses apparently count. I have asked ICANN GE for talking points. https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact Anne Aikman-Scalese GNSO Councilor NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2024 anneicanngnso@gmail.com
