In the digital era, the fabric of connectivity is woven by a diverse tapestry of stakeholders. This session will explore how robust standards in innovation, technical frameworks, and societal engagement are upheld through a multistakeholder governance model. By incorporating a wide spectrum of community feedback, we create resilient policy frameworks that underpin the internet and cellular technologies, serving as the backbone for sustainable digital development. At the core of this ecosystem lies the standardization process, a cornerstone that upholds the principles of safety, equity, and openness. Our dialogue will feature insights from ITU standards experts and academic thought leaders, delving into how standards can be leveraged to craft inclusive policies, promote shared infrastructure use, and level the digital playing field by reinforcing its foundational principles. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of technical standards within multistakeholder governance and their impact on fostering inclusive digital policies. We will employ a dual-facilitation model where two moderators, one onsite and one online, will work in tandem to bridge the physical and virtual environments. They will synchronize the session’s flow, ensuring that both audiences are equally engaged. The online moderator will monitor the digital platform for questions and comments, relaying them to the onsite moderator and vice versa. We aim to employ pre-prepared presentation will highlight the session’s key points, serving as a visual aid to complement the discussion and utilizing chats and our rapportuer to build a realtime collaborative recommendation document to ehance participation in a seamless hybrid manner
