[WG-Strategy] Draft: Ideas how to operationalize the MHLB

[livia.walpen at bakom.admin.ch]

Dear colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well. Pursuant our last call of the MAG-WG on Strategy, Jorge and I have been working with Anriette and Titti on a draft concept note on how to implement the Multistakeholder High-Level Body (MHLB) from Para 93(a) of the UNSG's Roadmap on Digital Cooperation. Thanks very much also for the feedback from those who had most actively participated in this discussion, whom we have approached informally over the last days. :)

I have just uploaded the resulting draft here:

Some ideas on how to operationalize the Multistakeholder High-Level Body outlined in §93 (a) of the UNSG Roadmap for Digital Cooperation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zk8D2ub1D9yY4y5mznDbGuqZPDdZi6NjlV38Jsv4FkI/edit?usp=sharing

We have tried to factor in the discussions and ideas we have exchanged in this WG as well as in the Roundtable call on 27 July mostly in what is the consolidated and so-called Approach "A" in the draft: operationalize 93(a) through a new body within the IGF, separate and complementary to the MAG.

In addition, the concept note contains an Approach "B": operationalize 93(a) through an in-depth reform of the MAG, which is a text provided by Paul Blaker based also on ideas exchanged so far by other WG members.

We hope that this draft concept note can serve as a good basis for further discussions and we are looking forward to the call tomorrow.

Very best,
Livia & Jorge
