Hi All, While a lot of the text in the Zero draft is Developing country friendly, I echo Jorge's concern of limiting the Role of IGF and multistakeholder cooperation only to the" governance, content, and technical layers" and trying to create the High-Level Review of the Global Digital Compact, rather than used existing mechanism such as IGF, CSTD and UN mechanisms as proposed by many. Additionally the role of Multistakeholders seems problematic, especially the text " ...cooperation will involve all stakeholders, according to their respective mandates, functions and competencies"" This at times can be used to sideline stakeholders especially Civil Society.

Thanks Jordan: key are paras 61 to 64 which establish an entirely new follow-up process, which most probably would attract all attention on digital governance issues, and de facto would render existing processes (such as IGF) quite disempowered...
There is as well a narrative of clustering the IGF and Internet governance as a merely technical matter, which is not pertinent to other aspects of the GDC (see Paras 25:26 and how they stand v-a-v the rest)...
just some first personal impressions...

Hi all
This now appears to have been released:
https://www.un.org/techenvoy/sites/www.un.org.techenvoy/files/Global_Digital...
On a quick first read, the role of the technical community has been recognised, and the follow up process proposed is through existing mechanisms, not a new Digital Cooperation Forum.
Those seem to be wins.
Cheers Jordan
