Global Digital Compact - seeking input.

I just came across the UN Global Digital Compact
<https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact> today and they are
actively soliciting feedback/input.

It seemed like I should share it and it might be worth considering what we
might say for

The Global Digital Compact is expected to “outline shared principles for an
open, free and secure digital future for all”. The Common Agenda report
suggests issues that it might cover, including digital connectivity,
avoiding Internet fragmentation, providing people with options as to how
their data is used, application of human rights online, and promoting a
trustworthy Internet by introducing accountability criteria for
discrimination and misleading content.

As you prepare the consultation or begin to draft your input, consider the
future of digital technologies and the continuing digital transformation.
How can we best ensure an “open, free and secure digital future for all”?

   - What shared principles should be included in the Global Digital
   Compact?
   - Which issues should be addressed – those mentioned above in the Common
   Agenda report or others?
   - What can and should the international community do to address them?


They are asking for input from folks around the world.
