After careful consideration, the Internet Society has decided not to endorse the GDC and provided details of our intended plans here<https://www.internetsociety.org/issues/internet-governance/news-updates/gdc-...>. 👈 If you are considering the endorsement opportunity, or have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to Mona Gaballa and/or Isra Rosas, who are cc’d here. We look forward to hearing back from you about your position on the GDC endorsement. All the best, Cara Cara Unterkofler, Sr Director of Organization Members unterkofler@isoc.org<mailto:unterkofler@isoc.org> | Time Zone: CET [image001.png]<http://internetsociety.org/> Together, we can build an Internet for everyone.
