Description: The “common desire and commitment to build a people-centered, inclusive and development-oriented Information Society” articulated 20 years ago at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is still to be concretised. The adoption of the Global Digital Compact towards outlining "shared principles for an open, free and secure digital future for all" is a foremost opportunity to reinterpret the WSIS vision to address the enormous persistent and emerging challenges that stand in the way of social justice, the strengthening of human rights, gender justice, environmental justice and, ultimately, digital justice. The IGF is at the epicenter of the transformations necessary to harmonise and coordinate strategies in the digital cooperation ecosystem. This session explores with the IGF community the various proposals to strengthen the IGF as a pivotal space to support and facilitate the implementation, follow up and review of the outcomes of the WSIS+20, the Pact for the Future and the NetMundial+10. It also points to identify creative ways in which the IGF could play such a role in the upcoming decade.
