Betreff: [IGFmaglist] Global Digital Compact - launch of public platform

Dear Mr. Mitchell,

I write to you, in your capacity as Chair of the IGF's Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Group, to inform you that the Office of the Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology has launched a public platform to invite submissions and inputs on the forthcoming Global Digital Compact (as below). In addition, we have also put up resources materials on how to contribute and engage with the ongoing open and inclusive preparatory process led by the UN Secretariat, as the UN Member States continue their discussions on the Our Common Agenda Report.

Given the UN's commitment to the important role played by the Internet Governance Forum, particularly as an engaged and vibrant multistakeholder Internet community, we hope that the IGF can contribute to the preparatory process for the Compact also through this Survey, both by giving it further visibility in its networks and Dynamic Coalitions and the many NRIs at national and local level. We are encouraged by the strong interest that IGF MAG members have already shown, and the alignment of the upcoming 2022 IGF with suggested themes of the Global Digital Compact.

We believe the IGF's contributions will be extremely valuable to the Member States and others as they progress towards the Compact. The Office of the Envoy on Technology will ensure that the results of the survey will be channeled to the membership to make maximum use of the ideas and proposals we will collect.

I copy in my colleagues from the Tech Envoy Office, as well as the IGF Secretariat/DESA, in case you may have any further questions.  I remain at your disposal as well for any further exchange, and look forward to our continued collaboration.

With best wishes,

Francesca
