Your use of quotes here seems to indicate that you understand there is
no such official rep.

There was a Focal Point appointed by the UN folks for the specific

You might see this, (Lauren or Mozila for example, and W3C is joining
the efforts to make a statement).

That's how the Internet tech community works, people represent
themselves (and sometimes our orgs) with no need for "representation".
