    The resolution now calls on the UN General Assembly to renew the IGF mandate, while shifting support from member states to the UN. Adds a new paragraph urging member states and the Commission to secure a positive UN resolution for the IGF's future. Expands rejection to include corporate-controlled internet and intergovernmental governance, and adds a recital on the EU digital strategy. Other changes are wording: recitals reordered and rephrased, and paragraphs renumbered.
