The document discusses a pledge for Palestinian technology experts to share their knowledge and perspectives with U.S. technology media over a 90 day period to help brand Palestine's ICT and startup ecosystem. It provides guidance on identifying relevant media to follow, engaging with them by commenting and sharing insights from December to January, and then pitching coverage opportunities related to their expertise in January. The goal is to build a new narrative and attract more foreign startups, angels and VCs outside the U.S. by sharing interesting stories from Palestine.
