This session will take stock of the recent cyber stability initiatives within the UN framework, Paris Call, and other similar processes since the presentation of the final report of the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace (GCSC) at the 2019 IGF in Berlin. 

During this session, GCSC members will engage with the respective chairs and champions to reflect back at the main outcomes of the UN Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG), the implementation of the UNSG High Level Panel on Digital Cooperation and Working Groups 4 and 5, and the ongoing work of the UN GGE, the Paris Call, and similar initiatives working on norms of responsible behavior.

This session will provide a briefing on the GCSC Report on Advancing Cyberstability and review the progress made within the diplomatic processes in the past year, and the effects they have on the norms of the GCSC, the Paris Call, and other similar norm proposals. Furthermore, it will also explore ways in which to advance a concerted multistakeholder approach that advances the development, implementation and adherence to norms. It will thereby examine the role of the Internet governance community and wider civil society stakeholders, and what contributions they can make towards the goal of norm development, implementation and adherence.
