Dear Ali and fellow Listers,
Please accept my apologies.
First, the Global Digital Compact is one of the 16 processes being discussed at the United Nations to realise the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda (OCA) initiative to set out principles for ‘an open, free, and secure digital future for all’.
As per Ms Josephine Miliza's article, GDC aims to bring together the United Nations, governments, civil society organisations, the private sector, and other stakeholders to dialogue and agree to shared principles for an open, free, inclusive, secure, and shared digital future for all.
There is a consensus that to ensure universal connectivity by 2030, everyone will have access to the Internet, digital technology, and services at an affordable cost. At the same time, we are conscious of ensuring the safety and security of accessibility, the system, and digital infrastructure.
Therefore, "participating in the Compact, you can shape the global conversation about the role of digital technologies in society and ensure that the voices of individuals, civil society organisations, and businesses are heard."
