*Questions and Answers on Human Rights Issues at ICANN* *Susan Ariel Aaronson comments * 1.Why is human rights an issue at ICANN?What does domain name registration have to do with human rights? /Under international human rights laws and new Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, firms, even public benefit firms such as ICANN, also have human rights responsibilities. Every action firms take can affect their stakeholders; the effects are not static; they can change over time; and simultaneously these actions can both undermine and/or enhance specific human rights. The Universal Declaration on Human Rights delineates the 38 human rights that governments must *respect, protect and remedy*. Firms are responsible for *respecting human rights*./ /http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/HR.PUB.12.2_En.pdf/// // 2.What are the key human rights issues that have been identified at ICANN? For a good overview, see Council of Europe http://www.coe.int/t/informationsociety/icann-and-human-rights.asp * In /order to operate in the public interest, ICANN has to comply with international human rights standards. Needs to human rights framework to make decisions. / * /The notion of public interest is insufficiently clear to provide guidance in policy development processes; accountability requires measurable standards. Human rights could serve to delineate the notion of public interest./ * /States need to be aware of their responsibility to protect the human rights of their citizens, also with regard to internet governance. / * /Human rights and the right to freedom of expression in particular need to be fully taken into account when deciding on the approval or refusal of sensitive new gTLDs./ * /The positive obligations of states require specific attention to vulnerable groups. It is desirable that the people-centeredness of ICANN's policy development is further improved. A balance must be struck between economic interests and other objectives of common interest, such as pluralism, cultural and linguistic diversity. Auctions may be an efficient way of allocation from an economic point of view but not from a view of respecting plurality and diversity. ICANN must always ensure that the outcome is in the best public interest. / * /Human rights and the right to private life in particular require a rebalancing exercise with regard to the processing and retention of data under the 2013 RAA as well as to public access to personal information in the WHOIS/database. /ICANN also has responsibilities to respect human rights in "how" it makes decisions. / 3.Whose responsibility is it to resolve these issues legally and from a policy perspective, and why? /As noted above, states have principal responsibilities to protect, respect and remedy human rights; firms must respect. Hence states can hold firms to account. / /They should also not delegate human rights responsibilities to firms (as in CSR)./ /https://edri.org/files/EDRI_CoE.pdf/ // 4.Were the obligations in terms of human rights encompassed in the original articles of commitment? /I don't know. / 5.What role should the GAC play in ensuring human rights at ICANN? /Help guide it towards a more responsible, responsive and accountable strategy./ 6.Jurisdiction is a big issue in terms of application of privacy law, freedom of expression, and prosecution of offences.How would those in favour of a more sustained effort to integrate human rights into ICANN policy propose to navigate the jurisdictional issues? /The issue of jurisdiction is one all firms, especially internet firms, must reckon with. / 7.Is there a mechanism to apply data protection law in a harmonized fashion throughout the ecosystem touched by ICANN? /We need shared standards; perhaps building on OECD and APEC Principles...but right now these issues are being addressed in aspirational language in trade agreements and not fully fleshed out. The EU refuses to address privacy in TTIP; both the US and the EU cite other governments' privacy rules as barriers to trade, so we do need to develop shared standards so national standards for privacy and the free flow of information (on which we all depend) can coexist.For more information, see Aaronson, Can Trade Set Information Free,http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2189153/ // Here is my suggested strategy to ICANN: I suggest a couple of things which would also allow ICANN to follow UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights: (see for ICT: http://www.bsr.org/reports/BSR_UN_Guiding_Principles_and_ICT.final.pdf) The attached article shows how hard it is. The Guiding Principles are a set of Guidelines that governments are supposed to encourage firms to follow to respect and protect human rights. Firms are supposed to: --develop and articulate a human rights policy and make sure employees/stakeholders know, understand and implement it --conduct human rights due diligence --do a human rights impact assessment (I can explain, but basically evaluate their human rights footprint, which is really hard to do without human rights metrics) --monitor human rights performance (develop metrics) and hold people accountable for performance. Suggested steps: 1. an e discussion, open to all, facilitated, asking for ideas on how ICANN can weigh its effects on human rights . Get the message out you are trying. 2. delegation of a Board member and ICANN official with responsibility for human rights (As senior as possible) 3. development of human rights policies by staff (perhaps with help from an advisory committee that is globally balanced but includes people who know human rights vs. Internet issues) It is important to understand the juggling act re. human rights... 4. open meeting for feedback on the policy and strategies by which employees are held accountable for adhering to the policy 5. then, per Roy, Joanna and others, creation of a formal HR advisory board 6. assessment of ICANN's human rights impact 7. constant feedback and modes of accountability--e.g. we found this, here's what we did 7. metrics to evaluate ICANN's impact on human rights. // // /My expertise on these issue: scholar of trade and digital rights; scholar of trade and human rights; former advisor to John Ruggie, UN Special Representative on Business and Human Rights. / -- Susan Ariel Aaronson, Ph.D. Research Professor of International Affairs, Institute of International Economic Policy Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University http://www.gwu.edu/~elliott/faculty/aaronson.cfm Please visit the Trade and the Internet Project Web site: http://www.gwu.edu/~iiep/governance/taig/ See http://tinyurl.com/lanrzda for advice on digital trade and internet freedom http://www.gwu.edu/~iiep/researchandpublications/signatureinitiatives/gover… Work on trade, trust, and accountability: http://tinyurl.com/of9loy8 Please visit my SSRN user page: http://ssrn.com/author=1145702

proposal for conf call next tuesday 16 Dec

Thanks to Nicolas and Thomas for organising next week's conf call which I hope you can all make (call details attached). Regards Lee From: cc-humanrights-bounces(a)icann.org [mailto:cc-humanrights-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of HIBBARD Lee Sent: vendredi 12 décembre 2014 15:54 To: 'cc-humanrights(a)icann.org' Subject: [cc-humanrights] Lee Hello to everyone, sorry for my absence recently. I have been trying to join the list and so hoping that this now works. Please find my last messages which I think you did not receive: - Thomas and his colleague Nicolas are willing to organise a conf call next Tuesday 16 Dec afternoon - could you please us how many are able to participate - I would propose 16:30 CET. - For your info, I was in the IGF planning meeting last week and I spoke to two GAC members - Mark Carvell and Olga Cavalli (could they join the list?) - who would be interested to support the initiative and to start preparing a draft charter for a CCWG on ICANN and human rights. - In reply to some recent exchanges, I would also add: - a 10-page application of concrete scenarios thereby in effect applying the CoE report would be interesting. I wonder however if all the proposed issues can be covered in such a short document and whether they can be discussed adequately by the agenda for the cross-community workshop? - tentative agenda for the cross-community workshop seems fine, although I would add discussants from GAC and perhaps CoE. Regards and ready to discuss. Lee

Possible topics for follow-up paper
by Niels ten Oever Dec. 11, 2014

Dec. 11, 2014

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I hope this email finds you well. To add some more content to the discussion, we have discussed writing both a summary of the CoE report (on which Marilia is working), and a follow-up paper. Joy, Monika and I have been talking about this follow-up paper. We are thinking about something not longer than 10 pages (because it is unlikely people will read much more), and it should elaborate on a some instances of human rights implications in the ICANN world that can be simple and clear to help build understanding. This will then help us build the case for the establishment of the Cross Community Working Group, in which we'll have more time and space to work on these issues (and how a more systemic approach to Human Rights in ICANN would be beneficial). I would like to propose the following subjects to you here. Do you think (some of) these would be interesting, relevant and suitable for such a paper? We tried to give attention to specific cases that are not discussed yet in the CoE report. Looking forward to hear your suggestions, comments and questions. - -freedom of association naming rights INGOs/NGOs - -privacy RAA -> exemptions - -freedom of expression gTLDs (guidebook) .gay UDRP - - right to fair trial Appeal mechanism Ombudsman Looking forward to discuss.

Re: [cc-humanrights] Human Rights and ICANN - session description
by Rafik Dammak Dec. 10, 2014

Dec. 10, 2014

Hi everyone, I think we may move to Wednesday morning at 10:00. the GAC-board meeting is from 8:30 to 9:30. We are still discussing about timing for CCWG on IG meeting. I also strongly advise for 2 hours session only. what I need as input: - session description , title and tentative agenda (which will be online) • a breakdown of topics to be discussed • a list of speakers/panellists • an explanation of the session’s goals and expected outcomes • hyperlinks to relevant documentation. - expected number of attendees - preferred set-up: u shape, theatre, rounds, board, classroom etc I will ask of course of for remote participation and adobe connect. I need to submit the request by 15th Dec finally, I think that is time to move to more substantive discussion to prepare the session.

Human Rights and ICANN - session description
by Niels ten Oever Dec. 10, 2014

Dec. 10, 2014

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, It seems there is consensus about the text for the session at ICANN52, or does anyone have any issues with this text? All comments are very welcome. _________ Human right and ICANN - continuing the conversation There is a growing recognition in parts of the community that some of ICANN’s policies and other actions may have implications for human rights like freedom of expression and the right to privacy. While ICANN is not the place to negotiate over such rights, it would be advisable on political and other grounds to assess whether our work is fully consistent with internationally agreed human rights laws and policies, and to identify possible methods for addressing any incompatibilities. To date, these issues have been discussed on a case by case basis. This cross-community workshop will consider options for starting a process that could address them in a more systemic manner. ________ What would be the process to request the room? I would be happy to send some emails, but given the experiences during last ICANN meeting it might be more effective if someone more senior in the ICANN hierarchy would send it. Any takers?
