<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Firstly, I would like to thank you all for the input on the draft document. The input was submitted last April 29th, via the online form, and an email with supplementary information (i.e., a digital
copy of the IRPC Charter) was sent the following day. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Unfortunately, our input was never published. After a few emails to the Global Digital Compact team and the Envoy on Technology office to enquire on the status of our submission, we were finally
informed that the submission had not been received, which I believe was a technical glitch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
