The UN Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation submitted its report The Age of Digital Interdependence on Monday 10 June 2019. As a contribution to the follow up process National and regional IGFs formed a task force and developed a survey to provide input on Recommendation 5A/B of the Report of the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation. This survey focusses on the IGF Plus model that was one of the suggested architectures. All stakeholder, may they be individuals, organisation, governments, the industry or NRI coordinators, are invited to answer the survey until 21 May. The Co-Champions, the Governments of Germany and the United Arab Emirates, are facilitating the follow-up process on the recommendations related to the Digital Cooperation Architecture.
