Hi, this read.me needs your eyes and then we can take it live on Monday on the DPGA alliance Github. I am also sharing an email with a google doc and a link to this branch.

## Overview

Welcome to the Digital Public Goods Alliance Github. We are an not-for-profit, multi-stakeholder alliance that stewards the [definition of 'digital public goods'](https://www.un.org/techenvoy/content/digital-public-goods). Digital public goods (DPGs) are open-source products that advance the [sustainable development goals](https://sdgs.un.org/#goal_section). DPGs are open software, data, AI solutions as well as standards and content collections. Other than being open-source and platform independant, DPGs have to adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm by design and meet the [DPG standard](https://github.com/DPGAlliance/DPG-Standard).

@prajectory I would suggest using the same wording as the definition details for instance: Digital public goods are open-source software, open data, open AI models, open standards and open content versus DPGs are open software, data, AI solutions as well as standards and content collections
