workshop at IGF, on human rights in policy development at ICANN
This afternoon the IGF will have a workshop on ICANN's policy development process. It's been organized by NCSG members who would like ICANN to more formally consider "human rights" in PDPs. Panelists: Joy Liddicoat - Association for Progressive Communications (APC) - Civil Society - WEOG - Confirmed Wendy Seltzer - Non Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) - Civil Society - WEOG - Confirmed Franklin Netto - ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee - Govt - GRULAC - Confirmed Avri Doria - DotGay Application Advisory Group (dAAG) - Civil Society - WEOG - Confirmed Hong Xue - Institute of the Internet Policy & Law at Beijing Normal University (BNU) - Academy - Asia Pacific - Confirmed Kuo-Wei Wu - ICANN Board - Civil Society - Asia Pacific - Confirmed We saw this initiative in Toronto, regarding the Thick WHOIS PDP. Several BC members here in Baku will attend and intervene when appropriate. --Steve (No.123) Human Rights, Internet Policy and the Public Policy Role of ICANN The recent years have proven that the openness of Internet is a fundamental feature for the empowerment of citizens and the strengthening of democracies. The framing of Internet policy should be oriented towards this goal and the policies governing the Domain Name System are not a stranger to this debate. On one hand, a human rights assessment on new ICANN policies could provide the community with means to better understand the impacts of the introduction of new policies in the ICANN environment, in addition to economic analyses. On the other, new regulation is being proposed in numerous countries using the DNS system as a resource to prevent or stop illicit activities. The fine balance between law enforcement and the protection of human rights, such as free speech and privacy, among others, is crucial for a number of new Internet regulations that affects the DNS. For example there are tensions between the potential benefits of aggregating specific forms of content for communities of people to support their right to information, and the ease of DNS filtering to further censor or narrow the spaces for expression and information of already marginalised/discriminated against sections of society, for example, the introduction of dotgay. Especially at ICANN, free speech concerns over the implementation of new generic top level domains and the traditional debate over privacy and the WHOIS highlights the need for a more concrete analysis on the impact on human rights on ICANN activities. However, ICANN is not a human rights standard setting body yet is responsible for public policy making, although in a very narrow sphere. The role and responsibility of ICANN in relation to human rights needs further exploration and multi-stakeholder dialogue to better understand how to give effect to human rights related issues within ICANN. The proposed workshop will provide a comprehensive analysis of internet policy topics handled by ICANN that have human rights implications and examine how these implications are paramount to the fostering of the public interest in internet policy. @@@@@@@@@@ Agenda for Workshop no.123: Human Rights, Internet Policy and the Public Policy Role of ICANN 10 minutes – Introductions * Moderator: Framing the questions and setting the stage for the debates *Each panelist: 2 line introductions from each panelist – their name, affiliation and why they think the issue is important 60 minutes – What are the most relevant topics regarding human rights protection on the development of the public policy role of ICANN? * Panelists have 5 (five) minutes to present their remarks, followed by 35 (thirty five) minutes of audience discussion 40 minutes – How to implement a human rights assessment on ICANN policies? * Panelists have 2 (two) minutes to present remarks followed by 30 (thirty) minutes of audience discussion 10 minutes – Wrap up and way forward *Each panelist: 1 minute takeaways *Moderator: overall summary Organiser(s) Name: Joy Liddicoat - Association for Progressive Communications (APC) - Civil Society - WEOG Carlos Affonso Souza - Center for Technology and Society at Getulio Vargas Foundation Law School (CTS/FGV) - Academia - GRULAC Robin Gross - Non Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) - Civil Society - WEOG Submitted Workshop Panelists: Joy Liddicoat - Association for Progressive Communications (APC) - Civil Society - WEOG - Confirmed Wendy Seltzer - Non Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) - Civil Society - WEOG - Confirmed Franklin Netto - ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee - Govt - GRULAC - Confirmed Avri Doria - DotGay Application Advisory Group (dAAG) - Civil Society - WEOG - Confirmed Hong Xue - Institute of the Internet Policy & Law at Beijing Normal University (BNU) - Academy - Asia Pacific - Confirmed Kuo-Wei Wu - ICANN Board - Civil Society - Asia Pacific - Confirmed Name of Remote Moderator(s): Carlos Affonso Souza - CTS/FGV
