Hi,

While the Global Digital Compact articulates lofty aspirations and commitments toward forging an inclusive, open, safe, and secure digital landscape, it is imperative to scrutinize its provisions through the lens of persons with disabilities to guarantee their full participation and benefit.

Here is a small post titled: Leaving No One Behind: Integrating Disability Rights in the Global Digital Compact highlighting person with disability perspective on GDC.

any feedback or further discussion is welcome.

Best,

Dr. Muhammad Shabbir,

Hello, all.

The WSIS+20 Outreach Network will host two one-hour interactive webinars to discuss the zero draft of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and its implications. The webinars will provide a space for stakeholders to share information and engage in discussions on how to preserve and continue to evolve the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.

I will coordinate with those of you who expressed interest in taking part in the program.

Also, here is a recording of the third meeting of the Informal Consultations on the GDC from 5 April 2024.

Thank you,
Carlos
