I made exactly that point in my comments on the document. You need to illuminate the "How" to IcANN and someone on the board has to take responsibility for the staff that will be held accountable for implementing human rights.

Update call mapping subgroup Sep 29th
by Marilia Maciel Sept. 29, 2015

Sept. 29, 2015

Hello everyone, The subgroup that is tasked to develop a visualization of ICANN's policies and operations and their interplay with human rights had a call today. This is a quick update. Present in the call: Rafik, Avri, Alan, Tapani, Gangesh, Marília - Alan presented a draft table that maps and links ICANN’s policies to the rights they respectively touch upon. Marília and Avri will review categories and complete the table. - Alan presented the image and concept of the “wheel of rights”, an alterative visualization that displays human rights in concentric circles – those that are more related to ICANN’s remit and the center – and color-matches them with the specific policies. The group agreed to proceed with the production of this image. - Marília presented progress in mapping opportunities for assessing HR impact on the policy development process (PDP) of the GNSO. - Another call to touch base about the progress will take place next week - The outcomes will be shared here when they are finalized, about a week before ICANN Dublin. Please, feel free to add any information I may have forgotten. Best wishes Marília -- *Marília Maciel* Pesquisadora Gestora - Centro de Tecnologia e Sociedade - FGV Direito Rio Researcher and Coordinator - Center for Technology & Society - FGV Law School http://direitorio.fgv.br/cts DiploFoundation associate - www.diplomacy.edu PoliTICs Magazine Advisory Committee - http://www.politics.org.br/ Subscribe "Digital Rights: Latin America & the Caribbean" - http://www.digitalrightslac.net/en

comment on specific human rights
by susan aaronson Sept. 24, 2015

Sept. 24, 2015

Niels: As usual, you bring up an important point. While ICANN activities may affect many human rights indirectly and directly, in trying to develop human rights guidance it makes sense to focus on specific human rights that are directly affected by ICANN activities. Some of these rights may be economic and social rights. But the problem is if we are going to demand ICANN take steps to protect respect and remedy its human rights impact, ICANN must be able to measure its effects upon human rights (as put forward in the Guiding Principles). But as of today, the metrics for human rights accountability are inadequate. We have plenty of metrics of government respect for human rights (as in political or civil rights). I call this supply side data on human rights. It is all based on the perception of experts (which makes me uncomfortable). In contrast, UNDP and other organizations have started multidimensional polling of people around the world, essentially asking them if they think they are "realizing" their rights. This kind of demand side human rights metric is not widely available, but there is a good start in the multidimensional poverty metrics done by UNDP when it asks people about whether they have access to sanitation or access to education. so my long winded point is that in delineating that ICANN do x, y and z, it will be very difficult to measure if they are actually doing things right or wrong. -- 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/signatureinitiatives/governance/taig/ The Trade, Trust, Transparency and Accountability page is: http://www.gwu.edu/~iiep/signatureinitiatives/governance/Trade_Trust_Transp… For the Repression, Civil conflict, and Leadership Tenure Project: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/spp/research/conflict-repression To see many of my publications go to: http://ssrn.com/author=1145702

Question: FoE & privacy? FoE & Privacy & Social & Economic Rights? Or more?
by Niels ten Oever Sept. 24, 2015

Sept. 24, 2015

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all, There is a question I would like to ask you, and your comments would really help our work on the paper forward: While human rights principles dictate that human rights are indivisible and one cannot pick and choose rights, it is also true that some rights are more relevant than others in certain circumstances. Should ICANN start with privacy and freedom of expression for the time being, or go a little wider and include some economic, social and cultural rights? Our draft paper has a bit of discussion on this point. It is reproduced below. I also thought it might be interesting to see the 31 indicators used by Ranking Digital Rights https://rankingdigitalrights.org/project-documents/2015-indicators/ - it is a set of more detailed indicators (around commitment, privacy, and freedom of expression) to be used to rank ICT companies and so these are more corporate footprint oriented rather than focusing on policy development per se. Again, a bit of apples and oranges but this different approach may stimulate more discussion. It would be great to hear what you all think about this in the coming days. Best, Niels ______________ In the ICT sector, it is generally understood that the most prevalent human rights issues are freedom of expression and privacy. For example, Yahoo! states that the Yahoo Business & Human Rights Program was created to coordinate and lead its efforts to protect and promote free expression and privacy.[1] Likewise, the Ranking Digital Rights project plans to use 31 indicators focused on disclosure of policies and practices of ICT companies that affect users’ freedom of expression and privacy.[2] ARTICLE 19’s June 2015 paper on ICANN’s corporate responsibility to respect human rights examines freedom of expression and the right to privacy and data protection principles in detail in the context of ICANN’s operations. Others suggest that a broader list of human rights should be considered in the context of Internet governance. As mentioned already, the Council of Europe report suggested pluralism and cultural and linguistic diversity, as well as respect for special needs of vulnerable groups should be considered. Other sources suggest freedom of association, right to religion, and non-discrimination, as well as international human rights principles.[1] The Panel on Global Internet Cooperation and Governance Mechanisms, convened by the World Economic Forum and ICANN, suggests that human rights dimensions of Internet governance entails culture and linguistic diversity, security and stability and open unfragmented space, among others. Finally, the UNGPs suggest that all internationally recognised human rights should be considered in the impacts assessment process. This means as a minimum “those expressed in the International Bill of Human Rights and the principles concerning fundamental rights set out in the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work” (Principle 12). Of course, it is possible that some of these rights are more relevant than others in the ICT context, and that only few may be triggered in connection with ICANN’s policy development process. The ICT Sector Guide mentions the rights to privacy and freedom of expression, government requests to ICT companies, and labor issues, as well as business relationships, particularly with suppliers. The decision on what rights should be addressed by ICANN will affect the scope and complexity of its human rights impacts assessment, and its reporting on matters related to its responsibility to respect human rights. One approach for the first HRIA could be to begin with impacts already being discussed within ICANN, such as freedom of expression and privacy, and then expanding the HRIA to include other rights. - -- Niels ten Oever Head of Digital Article 19 www.article19.org PGP fingerprint 8D9F C567 BEE4 A431 56C4 678B 08B5 A0F2 636D 68E9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWAqTDAAoJEAi1oPJjbWjptgwH/1NSTtbPOYkA/5i0JxxGyKY5 MRlRQ2VuOoOmQsVcGFxKgc8nM9TY7ii7OZu40XUm8eyTuD+JBpy9qDekQcEHLJwU IEi228k4p0vcpiDZyx0fMVMgCVqXkoHt9LOUjtan6AU5hcVdi+F/ivF24114an5S I7wRaIu8/kdWinOv/vAVenn7ro79z22uSsJvPE62b87JQmf5ENshS+3q7H7rvUG5 qFQiVrNq884OD7VrOAcLj6jNwQJ3WfCYqXXXO/YfiHM4i73yhStswpAr4b/5L/3B ubLRM+7bDXwujlplp8EyrlYAlg5cL/8Exp7/8hI+IkomSqaDAK/EPd8ahaHp9mM= =S6ZA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Marilia Maciel Sept. 22, 2015

Sept. 22, 2015

Hello everyone, I am sharing with you a quick update of the call held by the subgroup on mapping, which happened last Wednesday, Sep 16th, so we can further discuss during our call today. Speak soon! Marília The subgroup is focused on developing a visual chart of ICANN's policies and operations that impact on human rights and on mapping opportunities for assessing HR impact on the policy development process (PDP). Participants: Rafik Dammak, Alan, Avri, Marília, Gangesh and Aarti - APC presented a proposal for visualization based on cartoons and on a campaign strategy for communication. - The goals of the mapping are two pronged: to enhance understanding and awareness among community members and to gather evidence for supporting discussions on human rights at work stream 2-Accountability, when we are supposed to further detail the high level HR commitment to be introduced in the bylaws. We discussed to have both mind mapping and cartoons. The former to initiate the work, while the latter can be the deliverable we can use for communication. The work will be collaboratively shared. Avri, Marilia and Rafik will support Alan on the work. - A strawman document assessing the opportunities to introduce HR issues at the GNSO policy development process is going to be shared by Marília and collaboratively discussed. - The next call will be scheduled by the subgroup and communicated to the list.
