+## Should AsyncAPI Initiative Endorse The United Nations Global Digital Compact?
+The United Nations General Assembly has approved the Global Digital Compact, a commitment to ensure digital technologies support sustainable development and human rights. AsyncAPI is one of the key standards for event-driven architectures, and we have been asked to endorse the Compact, which aligns with our values of open-source software and collaboration. [A vote has been called](https://github.com/asyncapi/community/issues/1577) to determine whether we, as the AsyncAPI Initiative, should endorse the Compact. We encourage all community members to participate in the vote and share their thoughts on this important decision.
