Seeking endorsement: Five-Point Plan follow-up
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.
