Dear all, Enormous thanks again for the collaboration to develop the Five-Point Plan Follow-up: *Eight Practical Recommendations for an Inclusive WSIS+20 Review.* <https://www.gp-digital.org/wsis20-five-point-plan-follow-up-eight-practical-...> It is now published on GPD's website. We warmly encourage the community to disseminate the Eight Practical Recommendations with your communities and other stakeholders, in particular in advance of the 1st Preparatory Meeting & Stocktaking Session happening tomorrow, 30th May. As with the Five-Point Plan, the Eight Practical Recommendations will remain open for endorsements. We have set up a *form to collect endorsements* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSePdrx42mS3_8ikSX0QmaKrdXsWJ-oYCL1g...> which is included in the version published on GPD's website. We would welcome any support to share this form and gather additional community support for the Recommendations. Thank you again and please don't hesitate to reach out with any comments or questions. Best wishes, The GPD team On Wed, 28 May 2025 at 12:09, Ellie McDonald <ellie@gp-digital.org> wrote:
Dear all,
In late March, a cross-stakeholder group of over 150 organisations and experts published a Five-Point Plan for an Inclusive WSIS+20 Review <https://www.gp-digital.org/five-point-plan-for-an-inclusive-wsis20-review/>, providing recommendations to help operationalise the WSIS+20 review modalities to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and meaningful stakeholder engagement.
With the publication last week of the indicative roadmap <https://www.un.org/pga/79/2025/05/21/letter-from-the-president-of-the-genera...>, a cross-stakeholder group has worked on a follow-up document to the *Five-Point Plan: Eight Practical Recommendations* <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IjAN6E2U-kkamuFvU_37RDHlDRfZs6cKNjd6pEN3...>. This is intended to respond to the roadmap and build on the Five-Point Plan with practical and action-oriented recommendations to ensure meaningful stakeholder engagement as the review process evolves.
*We are now reaching out to invite organisations and individuals engaging in the WSIS+20 review to endorse the Five-Point Plan follow-up <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IjAN6E2U-kkamuFvU_37RDHlDRfZs6cKNjd6pEN3PsY/edit?tab=t.0>* *.* We intend to publish and formally disseminate the follow-up before the 1st Preparatory Meeting & Stocktaking Session, taking place on 30th May. We are therefore seeking endorsements up until *Wednesday 28th May 23:00 (EDT) *for the version we share with the co-faccs, member states and UN entities. However, like the Five Point Plan, the period for endorsements will be open-ended and, once published, we will maintain a form on GPD's website to collect additional endorsements.
In addition to considering your own endorsement, we would be grateful for any help to disseminate it with your communities.
*To recap:*
- The Five-Point Plan follow-up is now open for endorsements. Please add your endorsement by *today, Wednesday 28th May 23:00 (EDT) *to be included in the version we share with the co-faccs, UN entities and member states. - We will publish the follow-up on GPD's website on Thursday 29th May and encourage other endorsers to do the same. As with the Five Point Plan, we will maintain a form to add endorsements after initial dissemination and publication.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any comments or questions.
Best wishes,
The GPD team
