As part of the DPL, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) organised working group meetings between May and July 2024, on the topic of online safety and the regulation of gaming platforms and services. The working group consisted of DPL members representing national ministries and regulators from Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Slovakia, the European Commission, the UK and the US. Participants also included representatives from civil society and academia. While participants contributed to this publication, the views expressed in this paper do not necessarily reflect the views of all participants or any governments involved in this project.
