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…

Betreff: [wsis20] GDC zero draft

Hi all

This now appears to have been released:

https://www.un.org/techenvoy/sites/www.un.org.techenvoy/files/Global_Digital_Compact_Zero_Draft.pdf

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
