Global Partners Digital reposted this
After months of hard work, I am thrilled to share the latest publication from Global Partners Digital: a civil society guide for navigating the International Telecommunication Union's World Telecommunications Standardization Assembly (WTSA) happening this October. Understanding technical standards and combating Internet fragmentation is vital in today's Internet governance discussions, though often complex to grasp. To help address this gap, the guide covers the significance of WTSA, effective strategies for engagement, critical issues at hand, and steps civil society can take to uphold an open, interoperable internet. A heartfelt thank you to the GPD team, particularly Maria Paz Canales, Sheetal Kumar, Keerti R., and Jonathan Jacobs for their tremendous efforts in bringing this guide to fruition. Special appreciation goes to the experts Dr. Hosein F. Badran, Raquel Renno Nunes, and Carolina Caeiro, without whom this guide wouldn't have been possible. In somewhat bittersweet news, this marks my final publication with the Global Partners Digital team. Stay tuned for updates on my next endeavors!
