Dear Listers,
Following the political declaration adopted at the occasion of the United Nations’ 75th anniversary <https://undocs.org/en/A/RES/75/1> in September 2020, the Secretary-General in September 2021 released his report *Our Common Agenda*PDF <https://www.un.org/en/content/common-agenda-report/assets/pdf/Common_Agenda_Report_English.pdf>. The Common Agenda proposes a Global Digital Compact to be agreed at the Summit of the Future in September 2024 through a technology track involving all stakeholders: governments, the United Nations system, the private sector (including tech companies), civil society, grass-roots organizations, academia, and individuals, including youth.
The Global Digital Compact is expected to “outline shared principles for an open, free and secure digital future for all”. The Common Agenda report suggests issues that it might cover, including digital connectivity, avoiding Internet fragmentation, providing people with options as to how their data is used, application of human rights online, and promoting a trustworthy Internet by introducing accountability criteria for discrimination and misleading content.
Contributions are open by 31 March 2023 - see more information here - https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact
Participate in informal consultations led by Sweden and Rwanda - https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact/intergovernmental-proces...
