The United Nations has announced that it has launched a high-level panel on digital cooperation [un.org], co-chaired by Melinda Gates (wife of the infamous Bill Gates from the political lobby group Microsoft) and Jack Ma (executive chairman of China’s very wealthy Alibaba Group). The press release includes the full list of members and their affiliations. The goal of the panel will be to identify policy, research and information gaps, and make proposals to strengthen international cooperation in the digital space. The first meeting will take place in September and the final report is expected within nine months after that. The panel members serve ostensibly in personal capacity and not as representatives of their respective institutions.
