Regular so-called "tripartite meetings" are organised since 1996 between the French, German and UK regulators, i.e. Arcom, the DLM and Ofcom.

Launched at the International Conference on Digital Platform Governance in Dubrovnik in 2024, the Global Forum of Networks (GFN) provides a space for collaboration and discussion between various networks of regulatory authorities, enabling them to exchange good practices and the latest developments in the governance of digital platforms with a human rights-based approach.

Current members include: 

• The African Communication Regulation Authorities Network (ACRAN)
• The European Media Services Board (former ERGA)
• The European Platform of regulatory authorities (EPRA)
• The Global Online Safety Regulators Network (GOSRN)
• The Mediterranean Network of Regulatory Authorities (MNRA)
• The Platform of Ibero-American Audiovisual Regulators (PRAI)
• The Francophone Network of Media Regulators (REFRAM)
• The Platform of Regulatory Authorities for the Media of Portuguese-Speaking Countries and Territories (PER)

Adopted in 2026, the Pretoria Proposition for Action on Digital Platform Governance sets out a shared framework to advance human rights–based digital platform governance. It identifies key priorities, including strengthening regulatory cooperation, promoting transparency and accountability, empowering users, addressing systemic risks, and investing in research.
