Fact Sheet Series
by Becky McGilley Aug. 15, 2024

Aug. 15, 2024

As part of the WSIS+20 outreach network’s commitment to providing comprehensive and accessible information, we’re happy to launch a new factsheet series on Internet-related topics. The first edition focuses on the WSIS+20 Review<http://go.icann.org/4doDRox>. The next one to be published will be on ‘ The Multistakeholder Model of Internet Governance’, to be published by end of the month. These factsheets are designed to be essential resources, offering clear and concise background information on various aspects of Internet governance. By breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand, 101-style insights, they help individuals grasp key messages and develop a solid understanding of these important topics. The factsheets can be found on the WSIS+20 Outreach Network web page<http://go.icann.org/3wgbUPr> under the Knowledge Hub tab at the bottom of the page. Thank you!

Re: Joint TCCM statement on GDC process & outcomes

Thanks, Sabrina. The link to the LinkedIn is not working anymore, but they have changed the text there to correct the date to the 22nd. It is strange they put the 19th, as this is the date of the informal consultations (for member states only). So, the message now on the TechEnvoy’s LinkedIn page says, Join us for the next Stakeholders Information Session on the Global Digital Compact, scheduled for August 22nd at 10:00 AM ET. Please register here: https://lnkd.in/gpEmTuA6 You are right that it’s not published on the GDC webpage. The latest document there is rev.2...

GDC updates
by Veni Markovski July 27, 2024

July 27, 2024

Dear colleagues, Quick update from New York. The GDC co-facilitators have announced informal GDC consultations on 19th of August, where the member states will discuss the texts, which broke the silence procedure of rev.3. Perhaps the new rev.4 will be published soon after that date. Best regards, Veni

Thank you, Fiona. I am planning to publish a blog post after the GDC is finalized. It will provide some analysis about this particular process and will provide context for the coming WSIS+20 deliberations next year. Hopefully it will be useful not only for ICANN’s GE team work at the UN and other UN agencies, but for folks in the WSIS+20 Outreach Network, who interact with their national governments (especially ministries of foreign affairs). To remind everyone: please, subscribe to the GE webpage, so you can get updates, when we publish new materials. In the menu “Third Party Contributions” you can see ICANN’s submissions to external bodies, but also Community Contribution Opportunities, with one still active (ITU).

Dear WSIS+20 Network, The GE team would like to send out a reminder for an opportunity to provide public comments on proceedings for the ITU Council Working Group on International Internet-related Public Policy Issues (CWG-Internet). The deadline is 3 September. ICANN plans to contribute comments as well and will share them when we do.

How relevant multilateral and multi-stakeholder processes, including but not limited to UN-based processes such as Summit of the Future, WSIS+20 and the IGF, could address aspects related to Internet development? 2. What are the challenges and opportunities, good practices and favourable policy environments to strengthen the Internet, including in areas such as: fostering meaningful connectivity; equitable access for all; promoting a secure and resilient Internet; achieving universal access, the deployment of IPv6; using satellite communication to reach remote and underserved remote areas; ensuring services are affordable for people; promoting digital inclusion and skills; fostering multi-stakeholder participation and encouraging public and private sector investment in Internet infrastructure. 3. How can we promote international multistakeholder cooperation on public policy issues that are focused on promoting the development aspects of the Internet? Note, a physical consultation will be held in October 2024. Refer to the ITU link for more information.
