The global debates on the Global Digital Compact (GDC) are now at a new stage. The third draft of GDC did not survive a silence procedure, and the Member States are now renegotiating a revised text. The two facilitators of GDC held another round of consultations on August 22 with all interested stakeholders. The impression is that all participants expressed support for the ongoing work and agreed that the United Nations should play a key role in global digital governance.
