The mandate the Forum describes, and the text this review could not read
The Internet Governance Forum is where people from different stakeholder groups come together to discuss digital public policy, and its mandate was written by states. That is why the mandate matters well beyond the meeting room: it is the authority practitioners invoke when they…

VERY SMALL, Economy AP: What the Number Registry Can and Cannot Say About Gartner

The most consequential number in Abu Dhabi's AI infrastructure story is not 5 gigawatts, 500,000 chips, or 35,000 chips. It is a date: April 6, 2027. Under a US Commerce Department rule effective July 10, 2026, two entities in the Group 42 orbit — Group 42 Holding Ltd d/b/a G42…
