<p>Dear all, <br>

by civil society groups that are included in the existing list of
sign-ons (the first four groups). If you would like to lend your
support, please either respond directly to this email or add your
organisation's name to the documents directly. <b>Please do so by
COB Friday 25 August.</b><br>

<ul>
<li>Summit for the Future ministerial modalities: this is about
civil society participation in the Ministerial Meeting of the
Summit of the Future, and is addressed to the summit
co-facilitators (Germany & Namibia). The statement expresses
concerns regarding the lack of information about the mechanisms
for participation of non-governmental stakeholders, and provides
a set of recommended actions for moving forward.</li>

<br>

<ul>
<li>HLAB on Artificial Intelligence: this focuses on the
high-level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence, and is
addressed to the UN Tech Envoy’s Office/Ambassador Gil. It
expresses CSO concerns regarding the public call for nominations
and notes two main concerns: (1) the timeframe for nominations
and (2) the lack of information regarding the criteria and
process for selecting nominees. The statement concludes with a
set of recommendations to ensure a more open, inclusive and
transparent process, with a particular focus on ensuring civil
society participation.</li>
