FYI - update on human rights text in CCWG
by Niels ten Oever Feb. 10, 2016

Feb. 10, 2016

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] CCWG - Recommendation 6 - Final Text with Board Compromise Language and Avri's amendment to meeting NTIA criteria Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 17:49:46 -0500 From: Bernard Turcotte <turcotte.bernard(a)gmail.com> To: Accountability Cross Community <accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org> All, Please find attached the new draft for recommendation 6 which is being proposed as the consensus position for the CCWG (was circulated Friday last week also). This version is marked up from the final version accepted by the CCWG with the changes for implementing the Board proposal, the addition of a paragraph to explain how the Board proposal came to be (acceptance is in square brackets given the CCWG has not yet accepted it), and the addition of Avri's suggestion to the last section of the annex on NTIA requirements. In the proposed Bylaws language the following section is highlighted in yellow: (or another Cross Community Working Group chartered for such purpose by one or more Supporting Organizations or Advisory Committees) As discussions have indicated on the list there is an issue with this wording and the co-chairs will review potential solutions with the group on the call. Thank You. Bernard Turcotte ICANN Staff Support

call summary
by Niels ten Oever Feb. 5, 2016

Feb. 5, 2016

Hi all, We just had our CCWP HR call, it was a bit less populated than normally. I would like stimulate everyone who has volunteered for work in subgroups to conribute to the work or let the group know if you have less time so that people at least know you;re not available. Together we can make this happen, don't leave your colleagues hanging :) Here a short overview: - Subgroup 1. Has been doing mapping on cases. Is waiting for some further input for the table. Is lacking a good graphic designer. Niels will put Marilia in contact with Datakind for a graphic designer. - Subgroup 2. Identified a list of 11 possible topics but have identified four cases on which they'll work the coming time: 1. Preliminary Issue Report on a GNSO Policy Development Process to Review All Rights Protection Mechanisms in All gTLDs -https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rpm-prelim-issue-2015-10-09-en.Public comment for Prelim Issue Report is closed, but PDP continues.This will affect UDRP, Rapid Suspension procedure and otherrights-protection measures for the gTLDs. 2. Geographic Regions Review Working Group -https://www.icann.org/public-comments/geo-regions-2015-12-23-en.Public comment period ongoing. Issues of substantive v. formal representation/inclusiveness, of proportional representation based on(for ex) number of Internet users across the continents. 3. Name Collisions Management Framework: The framework does not set out a process to hear parties with colliding names, but only authorises registries to undertake controlled interruption 4. UDRP: In Clause 4(a) on Mandatory Administrative Proceedings for Applicable Disputes, the scope of applicable disputes is limited to trademark-related disputes. Issues surrounding freedom of expression, privacy, community interests in a domain name, geographical interests indomain names, etc. are not addressed. Please also see Vidushi's update to this list. Subgroup 3. Will be working on a template for a human rights impact assessment. A draft outline for the work can be found attached. Subgroup 4. is mapping the issues that are relevant from a HR standpoint in the GNSO working group charter on new gTLD subsequent procedures. The group is choosing topics of interest and getting prepared for the upcoming call for volunteers to be issued by GNSO staff soon. Subgroup 5. GNSO WG on WHOIS has started, more info here: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-04-en . This SG will come back soon with more inputs and information Operational issues: - Joint session with GAC WG on Human Rights and International Law as been requested - Public session for CCWP HR has been requested as well as a working session for ICANN meeting in Marakesh. Extra: RPM The GNSO will likely start a Policy Development Process (PDP) to review all Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in all gTLDs. The PDP will be two-phased, starting with a review of RPMs in the new gTLDs and, in a subsequent, second phase, review the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).

Fwd: [CCWG-ACCT] Board comments on Recommendation 6 - Human Rights
by Niels ten Oever Feb. 4, 2016

Feb. 4, 2016

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear all, The CCWG on Accountability has achieved consensus on human rights commitment in the bylaws (as part of the CCWG proposal) now the board has agreed to the text proposed by the CCWG. The interpretation framework will be part of Workstream 2. Congratulations all. Exciting work ahead! Best, Niels - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Board comments on Recommendation 6 - Human Rights Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 07:33:34 +0000 From: Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin(a)melbourneit.com.au> To: CCWG-Accountability <accountability-cross-community(a)icann.org> Hello All, In the spirit of the compromise throughout the CCWG proceedings, the Board is modifying its position, and is supportive of inserting a commitment to respect human rights into the ICANN Bylaws as follows: "Within its Core Values, ICANN will commit to respect internationally recognized Human Rights as required by applicable law. This provision does not create any additional obligation for ICANN to respond to or consider any complaint, request, or demand seeking the enforcement of human rights by ICANN. This Bylaw provision will not enter into force until (1) a Framework of Interpretation for Human Rights (FOI-HR) is developed by the CCWG-Accountability (or another Cross Community Working Group chartered for such purpose by one or more Supporting Organizations or Advisory Committees) as a consensus recommendation in Work Stream 2 (including Chartering Organizations' approval) and (2) the FOI-HR is approved by the ICANN Board using the same process and criteria it has committed to use to consider the Work Stream 1 recommendations." Rationale: The clause on the timing of the effective date of the Bylaws provision addressed many, though not all, of the Board's timing concerns. There were still significant concerns regarding some of the other detail, including possible interpretations that could impose human rights responsibilities on those with whom ICANN does business, or whether there are things that ICANN should affirmatively be doing today, in addition to compliance with law. One of the most pressing concerns that remained with the language was on the potential impact on external entities. The Board remained concerned that the CCWG's attempt to exclude reach to "entit[ies] having a relationship with ICANN", could actually be interpreted in a manner that increases - not insulates - the reach of this provision. When ICANN is challenged for conduct alleged to be in violation of applicable laws on human rights, that that challenge could also reach third parties for alleged failures to protect or enforce human rights within applicable law. This could reach entities with or without contracts, and many of which (including ICANN) have no enforcement power when it comes to the law. This is a potential path to placing an affirmative (and out of mission) obligation to police those with whom ICANN has relationships for potential failures to protect or enforce human rights. This language could leave the door open for those doing business with ICANN to be held to, for example, the applicable laws in the USA or another place where ICANN is found to do business. The applicable law is not defined as it applies to entities with relationships with ICANN, nor is that the type of language normally included in Bylaws. The Board supports the removal of the language that causes it concern, while allowing the CCWG to move forward with a recommendation to include a commitment in the Bylaws that ICANN treats human rights as a core value that guides the decisions and actions of ICANN:. We hope this compromise can allow this issue to be closed.

Re: [cc-humanrights] Call for Volunteers: Working Group on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures
by Marilia Maciel Jan. 28, 2016

Jan. 28, 2016

Hi Michele, Absolutely right. This was the the subject of a long discussion in the GNSO council. We came to the conclusion that only the issues relating to Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) not addressed by the anticipated RPM PDP will be addressed by the new gTLD subsequent procedures PDP. So the bulk of the discussions on RPMs will take place in a PDP still to come. Thanks for making the clarification.

Call for Volunteers: Working Group on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures
by Marilia Maciel Jan. 28, 2016

Jan. 28, 2016

Hello everyone, The call for volunteers for the working group on new gTLD subsequent procedures has been launched. Those interested can join either as a group member or an observer (see distinction below). This policy development process will be dedicated to the topic which is at the heart of ICANN's mission and its existence. It will determine how the gTLD space will expand in the future, by identifying lessons learned and proposing changes. The policy will touch upon topics strongly related to human rights: community applications, applicant's freedom of expression, rights protection mechanisms, support to developing countries, public interest, and more. This will be a massive PDP which will need the involvement of a large number of people. The WG will certainly benefit from the involvement of people with a human rights approach. Please consider applying for this working group. As a reminder: *CCWP subgroup 4* is dedicated to discuss and provide inputs to this PDP. Please also consider joining this subgroup. You can subscribe to the mailing list here: https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-humanrights4 The next call of SG4 starts in about 45min. If you wish to attend, please send a message to maryam.bakoshi(a)icann.org All the best, Marília ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org> Date: Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 9:25 AM Subject: [council] Call for Volunteers: GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures To: "council(a)gnso.icann.org" <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: "gnso-secs(a)icann.org" <gnso-secs(a)icann.org> Call for Volunteers: GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-27-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-27-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-27-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-27-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-27-en#> <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-01-27-en#> In Brief The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers to serve on a PDP Working Group (WG) to develop recommendations for New generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) Subsequent Procedures. The GNSO Council approved the WG's charter <http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/igo-ingo-crp-access-charter-24jun14-en.pdf> [PDF, 603 KB] on 21 January 2016, tasking this PDP to determine whether changes or adjustments to the existing policy recommendations on the Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains are needed. What This Team Will Do The New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP Working Group (WG) is tasked with calling upon the community's collective experiences from the 2012 New gTLD Program round to determine what, if any, changes may need to be made to the existing *Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-fr-parta-08aug07.htm>* policy recommendations from 8 August 2007. As the original policy recommendations as adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board have "been designed to produce a systemized and ongoing mechanisms for applicants to propose new top-level domains", those policy recommendations remain in place for subsequent rounds of the New gTLD Program unless the GNSO Council would decide to modify those policy recommendations via this PDP. The work of this PDP WG follows the efforts of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group (DG), which identified a set of issues/subjects for a future PDP WG to consider in their deliberations and recommend whether to: - Clarify, amend or override existing policy principles, recommendations, and implementation guidance; - Develop new policy recommendations; - Supplement or develop new implementation guidance. As part of the PDP WG deliberations, the PDP WG should consider at a minimum, the subjects detailed in the Final Issue Report. These subjects have been organized in groupings suggested by the DG that may facilitate deliberations on related subjects. However, additional work methods, such as those described in the Final Issue Report, or other methods identified by the PDP WG may be more appropriate to undertake the work. In addition to the work of the PDP WG, a number of new gTLD review efforts are underway which may have an impact on the work of this PDP WG. Therefore, this PDP WG should not be limited to the issues identified by the DG and should take into account the findings from the parallel efforts external to the PDP WG. How This Team Will Work ICANN WGs use transparent, open processes. The meetings of this PDP WG will be recorded, and the recordings will be made available to the public. The mailing list for the PDP WG will be archived publicly. The group will collaborate using a public workspace for draft materials and all final work products and milestones will be documented on the WG's wiki <https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/New+gTLD+Subsequent+Procedures+PD…>. The PDP WG is expected to follow the GNSO Working Group Guidelines <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-08apr11-en.pdf> [PDF, 349 KB] as well as the GNSO PDP Manual <http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-2-pdp-manual-24jun15-en.pdf> [PDF, 260 KB]. How to Participate There are two ways to volunteer: - *Individual Members* – anyone interested can volunteer to join the PDP WG as a WG member, regardless of whether they are members of the ICANN community. Members are expected to actively contribute to mailing list conversations as well as meetings – it is anticipated that the PDP WG will at a minimum meet on a weekly basis via teleconference. Members are expected to provide essential input to the process. Members will be required to provide a Statement of Interests (SOI <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs>). - *Mailing list observers* – for those who are merely interested in monitoring the WG's conversations, there is the possibility to sign up as a mailing list "observer" which offers read-only access to the mailing list. Mailing list observers will not be permitted to post, will not receive invitations to the various meetings or calls of the WG and will not have to complete a Statement of Interest. At any point in time, a mailing list observer can join the WG as a member simply by informing the GNSO Secretariat. In addition, there will be opportunities to provide input through public consultations and public comment processes that the PDP WG is expected to organize. How to Join If you are interested in joining the WG as an individual participant or mailing list observer, please fill in the sign up form <http://goo.gl/forms/FRNZ4pSQl9> or send the PDF document <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-pdp-27jan16…> [PDF, 76 KB] filled in to the GNSO Secretariat <gnso-secs(a)icann.org>. All members and observers will be listed on the PDP WG's wiki page. Next Steps In its motion, the GNSO Council directed that this call for volunteers be circulated as widely as possible in order to ensure broad representation and participation in the WG. This call will remain open until the PDP WG convenes for the first time. At this juncture, it is anticipated that the PDP WG may convene online in late February 2016. Following that, regular online meetings will be scheduled in accordance with the PDP WG's work plan, which it is expected to develop as one of its first tasks. Further Information and Preparation For those interested in volunteering for this effort, you are strongly encouraged to review the following materials prior to the first meeting of the PDP WG. - The Final Issue Report <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-final-issue…> [PDF, 1.38 MB] - The approved charter <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-charter-21j…> [PDF, 196 KB] - Materials available at the PDP WG's wiki <https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/New+gTLD+Subsequent+Procedures+PD…>, such as the 2007 Final Report and other relevant information. Background In 2005, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) began a Policy Development Process (PDP) to consider the introduction of new gTLDs. The two-year PDP process resulted in a set of 19 GNSO policy recommendations for implementing new gTLDs. In order to implement the policy recommendations of the GNSO, a number of draft Applicant Guidebooks (AGBs) were developed by ICANN staff in consultation with the community.In June 2011, ICANN's Board of Directors approved the final AGB and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program. The New gTLD Program application window opened on 12 January 2012 and a total of 1930 complete applications were received. The first set of Initial Evaluation results were released on 22 March 2013, followed by the first set of new gTLD delegations on 21 October 2013. All applications have now completed the evaluation process and as of mid January 2016, there are nearly 900 gTLDs delegated and approximately 450 applications still proceeding through the remaining steps of the program. Although the 2012 round is ongoing, efforts to examine the round have already begun, which included the creation of the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group (DG) <http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/inactive/2015/non-pdp-new-gtld>. The DG was created by the GNSO Council to discuss the experiences gained from the 2012 round of the New gTLD Program and to identify subjects that might lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent application procedures. The DG prepared its final deliverables, which included a set of subjects that it anticipated would be analyzed in detail in the context of an Issue Report. On 24 June 2015 the GNSO Council passed a resolution requesting the drafting of a Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures. In accordance with the PDP Rules, the Preliminary Issue Report was published for public comment on 31 August 2015. Following review of the public comments received, the Staff Manager updated the Issue Report accordingly and submitted the Final Issue Report to the GNSO Council for its consideration. The GNSO Council officially initiated the PDP on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures on 17 December 2015, followed by adoption of the PDP WG's charter on 21 January 2016. -- *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
