In the context of the #GDC 💻 👾 a team of engaged civil society organizations especially Dr. Friederike von Franqué from Wikimedia Deutschland e. V. as well as Sophia Longwe and myself have prepared an important position paper 📝 on the current negotiations. We hope to influence the outcome in a positive way and also position us strategically for the future implementation of the #GDC Two key points that I do want to highlight: 1. We need to avoid #fragmentation 💥 of discussions by creating unnecessary new institutions. Imagine a reorganization in your company, university, or market that introduces a redundant entity, fragmenting discussions—this is similar to the possible situation in #InternetGovernance. 2. Think of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 🌐 as a global gathering for everyone involved or interested in the #Internet. The IGF is at risk of being devalued and/or multilateralised by the #GDC outcome. However, the GDC can also provide valuable input for its reinforcement by providing improved financing and competencies.
