This strategy builds on this experience and positions GFMD to take a leading role as a representative and consultative body. This strategy was developed through: * An expert assessment of the global technology and regulatory landscape * A member survey * Consultation with GFMD members * Individual and small group meetings with members of the GFMD steering committee * And a review of key strategy documents and discussions during the General Assembly and on various listservs. {% hint style="info" %} This strategy suggests activities but does not prescribe what these should be as they will be determined following adoption of the strategy and identification of opportunities. {% endhint %} Policy development and regulation have a long lead time, and it may take a while to show results, so GFMD needs to look for short-term wins along the way (also to show us that we are having an impact) and communicate these to its members. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://strategy.gfmd.info/planning/general-strategy-2021-25/digital-policy-advocacy-2021-2025/methodology.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
