Dear UNGA WSIS 20 + Review Committee

Re: WSIS +20 Zero Draft

As there is an open invitation to contribute to the review, I am taking this opportunity to write this short note to the committee. I am the Founder and Chair of the Dynamic Coalition on  Data Driven Health Technologies at the United Nations  Internet Governance Forum.

The Dynamic Coalition is a space where everyone can gather to talk., to share, to capacity build, to gain feedback, to learn, to test out a process, develop guidance and guidelines, propose solutions and so forth, for patient centered ehealth.

It is a great space for all stakeholders, including represenatives of countries, to engage with the global public, with no commitments. It is a space for innovation and active, timely discussions on subjects such as ethics and cultural diversity for human / patient rights..

We have been active at both the annual WSIS conferences and the IGF annual meetings, as well as at Eurodig, over the past several years. We have members and participants from at least 25 different countries, representing all continents and stakeholder groups. Many more international people join our events.

The DC is an opportunity like no other, to engage and talk about emerging issues, prepare for the future and risk mitigate while keeping a human rights, people centered orientation, to all matters discussed.

I just want to emphasize, that like our DC, we have a family of DCs at IGF and they play an invaluable role for a people centered internet. With  AI and Quantum discussions, we can keep up the pace, all year through at IGF rather than meet fir discussions just once a year! It is an open forum, hence open to the international public, like no other space!

Kind regards and best wishes,

Ms Amali De Silva-Mitchell
Chair IGF DC DDHT
