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).

 

Best,

Subject: [wsis20] [wsis2-] UN Attempts AI Power Grab

 

Might of interest to some on this list, but I really find the lack of transparency around these New York processes quite unacceptable.
