I would like to draw attention to this issue once again. It was also was a little ununderstandable for me. What is 'in a military domain'? "Is this a UN term that has a definition somewhere else? Is it preferably defined in said humanitarian law?" " Would general 'national security interests' or 'military defense intelligence or operations' apply or are we talking about active military interventions? Does that cover localized military actions against civilians under 'civil unrest' or international warfare?" In Global Digital Compact 6 September 2024, I see: In 4. Our goal is an inclusive, open, sustainable, fair, safe, and secure digital future for all. This Global Digital Compact sets out the objectives, principles, commitments, and actions we undertake to achieve it in the non-military domain. What does it mean "actions we undertake to achieve it in the non-military domain."

I have just noticed in the pre-amble: 4. Our goal is an inclusive, open, sustainable, fair, safe and secure digital future for all. This Global Digital Compact sets out the objectives, principles, commitments and actions we undertake to achieve it in the non-military domain. I now see this was first introduced in Rev 2 but not in the preamble. In that revision, it was mentioned 4 times concerning capacity-building type activities in the non-military domain. In that context, in my view, it is a beneficial inclusion. Rev 3 removed those contexts and only has the term non-military domain once in the preamble as above. Does this reading then allow the objectives, principles, commitments or actions to be put aside in a military domain (thanks Mark for comments here )<https://www.eurodig.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GDC-Rev1-and-Rev-2-compar...> And what is 'in a military domain'? Is this a UN term that has a definition somewhere else? Preferably defined in said humanitarian law? My head is spinning with questions - what circumstance would 'the military domain' apply? Would general 'national security interests' or 'military defence intelligence or operations' apply or are we talking about active military interventions? Does that cover localised military actions against civilians under 'civil unrest' or international warfare? Sorry for the last-moment alarm and knowing there's probably nothing more this hard-working frustrated network can do about many things. Perhaps just something to be mindful of as we go into WSIS+20? Or I should take some nice tea get a good night's sleep and stop being a dramatic newbie? Appreciate your contributions and updates btw. It has been very helpful for me to get my head around it all.

I share Fionas first quick conclusions. It is "status quo" for the IGF in Geneva and "Status quo plus" for a new GDC in New York. Imbalance is growing. Indeed, WSIS+20 is more recognized and it remains to be seen whether die GDC follow up will be under WSIS+20 or WSIS+20 will be incorporated into a GDC Follow Up (under the leadership of Amandeeps new office in New York). For the 2027 big GDC conference, it remains in the hand of governments. Bad. However, the door for more multistakeholder activities is open. It is up the communities (and, inter alia, the IGF-LP) to be more pro-active and to come with concrete initiatives (as a plan for WSIS+20 PrepComs (in Geneva), implementation of the SPMGs or "the Internet we Want"). There should be a "Call from Riyad" for the WSIS+20 process.

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.
