Thanks for the great discussion! I had a quick look.

My first thoughts:

• Keeping in mind this is a zero draft, and we still have some work ahead of us ;
• Some good text and positive aspects including commitments and actions and the participation of stakeholders in IG (including mention of the Technical community as a separate SH). Paragraph 54 actually calls for endorsement of the compact (and active participation) by the private sector, the technical community, civil society and international and regional organizations.
• The WSIS (and updating WSIS action line), the GDC, as well as the SDGs, are intertwined which should be further addressed.
• Still a number of duplication and overlaps: in particular, paragraphs 61 to 65 (new follow-up process, High-Level Review of the Global Digital Compact…), annual AI dialogue. The zero draft could have consolidated existing mechanisms / build upon success achieved since 2003 (as proposed by a number of stakeholders during the consultation phase).
• I echo Jorge’s comment on paragraph 25 regarding the role of the IGF, which need to be clarified.
  

@Fiona: informal consultations are planned on April 12 and then May 2 and 3.

Looking forward to the consultation and to engaging further with the co-facilitators.
