Hello CCWP-HR members, I hope you are all healthy and doing well. _*ICANN69 session*_: The NCSG (through CCWP-HR) and ALAC have had a session accepted with the session confirmed for Tuesday 13 October 2020 from 12:00-13:30 UTC (14:00-15:30 CEST). The session will explore further work on the SO/ AC Human Rights Impact Assessment Tool that we had discussed in June at the ICANN68 Meeting (we shall share more details as the final agenda firms up in the coming days). _*HRIA Tool*_: Austin and I wanted to thank you so much for your efforts in the refining of the SO/ AC HRIA tool especially since the ICANN 68 Meeting which is available here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yuJuDXh_M9dvVhQWsH1pYS2MEpl-I2dDeSr…>: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yuJuDXh_M9dvVhQWsH1pYS2MEpl-I2dDeSr… Please feel free to look through and make any edits that will make the tool more useful. We hope that the tool will be useful to all the SO/ACs in their implementation of Human Rights and shall be reaching out to the SO/ACs that had expressed interest in doing a HRIA asap. _*EPDP Report:*_ We are sure you have seen the EPDP report <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/epdp-phase-2-team-publishes-final-report> and are aware that it is coming up for GNSO Council vote in the next week. Here is the report <https://www.icann.org/news/blog/epdp-phase-2-team-publishes-final-report> and it would be great to hear thoughts or ideas from the group especially on what key positions ought to be for us to protect human rights. _*New Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report: *_There is a public comment <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-draft-final-…> opportunity for the report and with the due date being 30 September 2020. Here is the report <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gnso-new-gtld-subsequent-draft-final-…> and it would be great to hear thoughts or ideas from the group especially on what key positions ought to be for us to protect human rights. Best regards, Ephraim and Austin.

Bylaw in effect?
by Niels ten Oever Sept. 17, 2020

Sept. 17, 2020

Hi all, I hope this email finds you all really well. I was discussing with a lawyer the other days about ICANNs bylaws, and specifically the human rights bylaw. The conclusion of our conversation was that legally the human right bylaw is practically in effect from the moment that the FoI got accepted by the board, because that was the only precondition that needed to be fulfilled. So legally, all parts of the ICANN community and org should abide by the bylaw. If they don't, measures could be leveraged against them. Best, Niels
