Latest on GDC
by Fiona Alexander Sept. 16, 2024

Sept. 16, 2024

Hi to all Attached is the latest draft of the GDC, dated Sept 6. My understanding is that the co-facilitators have officially passed this on to the President of the General Assembly and their work is completed as they are urging all governments to join consensus and adopt. It seems the co-facilitators are now leaving it up the President of the General Assembly as everyone heads into the Summit of the Future. Recall the GDC is an attachment to that Summit's declaration. Perhaps others, in particular those in government, might have more information, including on timing, my assumption is that this is the text that will be adopted barring some strenuous government objections. To me, it seems largely unchanged from the last draft. Fiona

GDC Rev 4 released
by Fiona Alexander Sept. 14, 2024

Sept. 14, 2024

Hi to all Attached is GDC Rev 4 which has made it my way from a few different people this morning. I understand that like Rev 3 the draft was released under silence procedures. I don't have the details on the silence procedures deadline this time around, perhaps others do. I'm still digesting the text but a quick assessment on the issues I have been most closely following: * leans into ITU more on connectivity and bridging the digital divide; * 2005 status quo on Internet governance (a pity in my view on the IGF funding challenge); * More caution on Digital Public Infrastructure; * The new AI panel and annual dialogue remain; * Follow up seems a bit more grounded in existing mechanisms and a GDC implementation map produced and linked to next year's WSIS +20; and, * A proposal for creation of a new UN office remains and will go to the General Assembly meetings next month, presumably for approval. Look forward to hearing others perspectives. Fiona
