[bestbits] WSIS+10 New Draft OUT [Fwd: [IGFmaglist] WSIS + 10 HL review by the UNGA draft Outcome Document]

[Lea Kaspar]

Dear all,

Please find attached the new draft of the WSIS outcome document, published
by the UNGA Co-facilitators earlier today.

Some highlights include:

   - a new, separate section on human rights;
   - continued references to the need to address
   cyber-terrorism/cyber-threats;
   - more government-centric view of IG (internet governance is now framed
   as needing to be multilateral/ transparent/ democratic rather than open/
   inclusive/ transparent as in previous draft);
   - IGF renewal recommended for a further 10 years (albeit contingent on
   improvements reported on by the CSTD);
   - enhanced cooperation follow-up via a special session of 71 UNGA,
   possibly to consider progress on setting up an intergovernmental mechanism;
   - review High Level Event scheduled for 2025.

In addition, you might note in the covering note that this draft will next
be formally discussed by governments in a closed session at the UNGA on
November 19-20 and 24-25...

All the more important to make our views known at the IGF!

Interested to hear others' views.

Best,
Lea

Dear MAG members,

I would like to share the draft Outcome Document of the WSIS + 10 High
Level review by the UN GA event that was released by the co-facilitators of
the process.
The draft Document reflects many proposals that were expressed during the
discussion of the Zero draft.
I hope the min session on WSIS + 10 will contribute to further fine-tuning
of the text.
Pls feel free to disseminate the draft as widely as necessary.

Best regards
JK
