To have a process established as a formal structure within ICANN it could either take the form of a Working Group (under the behest of any interested SO/AC), or a Cross-Community Working Group (with multiple SO/ACs as Chartering organizations) or as a Working Group instituted by the Board (like the Geographic Regions Working Group) or committees launched by the CEO (e.g. various discussion groups in the past). > > - Before deciding on a particular structure, you need to be clear what the objective / scope is and from that, which mechanism is best suited to achieve them. It probably would be helpful that those interested in this effort would first define and agree on the objective and scope of such an effort, so as to help determine whether a CCWG or Working Group, or else such as a fact-finding ad hoc group, is the most appropriate mechanism for achieving the agreed objective. (The reason to set up a CCWG, for example, can be to assess the effectiveness of an existing procedure; or produce a fact-finding document; or a set of recommendations; first for SO/AC approval, then for submission to the ICANN Board). > > * You will also need to establish a specific methodology; first, you may want to consider here to do some fact-finding and agree on the focus of the work, so as to be able to start familiarising others in the community with the ideas and objectives at stake. This could eventually take the form of a charter or statement of work that interested parties could sign up to. > > - As an example, should the objective / scope be to provide recommendations to the Board that are developed jointly by a number of SO/ACs, then you may want to consider pursuing a CCWG. This would require at a minimum two SO/ACs that would serve as the chartering organisations for such an effort. The formation of a CCWG is typically at the initiative of an SO/AC - the chair or representative of an SO/AC will approach the other SO/ACs to determine whether there is interest to form a CCWG on a particular topic. If so, a small number of representatives are requested to participate in the drafting team that is responsible for developing a charter. Once the drafting team has completed its work, the charter is submitted to all the interested SO/ACs for approval according to their own processes. (Based on recent experiences running CWG/CCWG, we have good illustrations available that can help as a starting point for any drafting effort). In order to charter a Cross-Communit! y W > orking Group, two or more SO/ACs would need to adopt the charter. So for NCSG and ALAC for example, they would need to get the GNSO as a whole to support the process. As raised during the Human Rights workshop at ICANN52, SO/ACs deciding on the creation of new workstreams normally involves consideration of the current workload and priorities. You may also want to think of who could be the 'champions' of the issue across different SO/ACs, who can start organising the discussion in a more structured manner. > > - Note that as mentioned above, there are also other (ad-hoc) mechanisms that could be pursued depending on the objective, such as a WG or discussion group. > > - You will also want to take into account that in its Singapore Communique, the GAC resolved to create a dedicated working group to look at this issue.

International Law, Human Rights and ICANN - The GAC decided to establish a Working Group on Human Rights Issues and the Application of International Law as these matters relate to ICANN activities.

Update and draft charter CCWP HR
by Niels ten Oever March 17, 2015

March 17, 2015

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I hope this email finds you well. The conclusion of the session on ICANNs Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights in Singapore, as well as several meetings afterwards, was that establishing a Cross Community Working Party (CCWP) on this topic would be the best way forward. In order to do this we would need to define the Objectives and the Scope of such a CCWP. Marilia Maciel and I have made a first draft of such a document, which you can find underneath. We're very much looking forward to hear your questions, suggestions and comments on this text. Best, Niels Draft goals and scope for CCWP HR Cross-community working party for analyzing potential Human Rights implications of ICANN’s policies and procedures Member organizations: (name the SOs and ACs) Each of the participating Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) agrees to work towards achieving the goals of this document and to seek input and participation from their communities. Background: This cross community working party (CCWP) seeks to map and understand the issues and potential solutions for the impact that policies, procedures and operations of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) have on human rights. In particular it focuses on the corporate responsibility of ICANN to respect human rights. It builds on a long term community engagement on this topic, further catalysed with the publication of the paper 'ICANN's procedures and policies in the light of human rights, fundamental freedoms and democratic values', as commissioned by the Council of Europe, and after sessions held in London, Los Angeles and Singapore. It seeks to improve ICANN's measures to respect human rights, in accordance with article 4 of ICANN's articles of incorporation. Objective: The CCWP on ICANN and Human Rights would have the purpose to raise awareness, provide information, facilitate dialogue and make suggestions to the ICANN community on ways to better harmonize ICANN’s policies and procedures with internationally recognized human rights standards, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The working party will focus on human rights that are directly impacted by ICANN policy decisions, procedures and operations. Responsibilities and scope of work: (i) To continue the process of raising awareness about the interplay between ICANN’s policies, procedures and operations and human rights; (ii) To map and collect information from the community about cases as well as current ICANN policies,procedures and operations that present an impact on human rights in which further guidance on how to harmonize policies and procedures with human rights would be necessary;; (iii) To develop guidelines for the procedures that are in place or that should be created in the policy development process to ensure the respect for human rights; (iv) To provide information, suggestions and recommendations to the chartering organizations and to the broader ICANN community on how ICANN’s policies and procedures can be developed and implemented consistent with internationally recognized human rights standards. This input can inform the policy development processes as defined in the ICANN Bylaws. (v) To propose procedures and mechanisms with the aim of producing assessments on if and how policies and procedures under developed and/or being implemented may impact on human rights. (vi) Draft Position Papers and Statements as deemed appropriate (vii) To carry out further discussions about the pertinence and timing for the creation of a cross-community working group on this issue. Membership The membership of the Working Party on ICANN and Human Rights is proposed to include members representing the diversity of the ICANN community. The Working Party will serve as a focal point for the discussion, knowledge dissemination and communication about the impact of ICANN's policies and procedures on Human Rights Its activities will be conducted in an open and fully transparent manner. - -- 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 v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVCGLmAAoJEAi1oPJjbWjpQPsH/jeFCrrALvM70ThfaPWT4EV/ cUGpag/MC4HSp4307eQ81AqLa3795RpUgx5eggqHPeMXN92/s85IYJDftYbBRNGG g1nsaC4b0sxyuQlNvDUrn3lpiCdHBxh+xxLYE118LdOHG3Ab/xmRJd6v3CQ5L1Yb qWvUZDu3t+mF5Jil4y4/Z14sjySKpxsDvX06JnmAH4nHkeRbiV+4h+LWb3hW6o/C QYCEGTNZvOBI6ujK/tJrj7e3W+bzfW8w4WmleWlsUJgdF7LouKhsD+7tqpqw3N3v OyaGo66OxLaNmNvesU72FtztX0be21NTIUKxI/VcVrv88mNPJAgnBxgFAu56buU= =heV6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Following up the ICANNs Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights meeting at ICANN52
by Niels ten Oever Feb. 23, 2015

Feb. 23, 2015

Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you very much for attending the session on ICANNs Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights at ICANN52 in Singapore. Please find underneath the summary of session, as prepared by Marilia Maciel. For your convenience I also attached the report produced by Article19. We're looking forward to continue the conversation with you on this topic at the e-mail list. We subscribed the people that indicated so, you can subscribe yourself here: https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-humanrights If by any chance we subscribed and you did not want this, you can unsubscribe using the same link. We're looking forward to continue the discussion on the list. Best, Niels ten Oever Head of Digital Article 19 www.article19.org PGP fingerprint 8D9F C567 BEE4 A431 56C4 678B 08B5 A0F2 636D 68E9 Human Rights in ICANN: continuing the conversation ICANN’s corporate responsibility to respect human rights Summary of the main points raised during the session held at ICANN 52 Wed, February 11th 1. There is a need for ICANN to respect human rights in its policies and procedures. It was recalled that Article 4 of ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation state that ICANN shall operate for the benefit of the Internet community as a whole, carrying out its activities in conformity with relevant principles of international law and local law. These include legal instruments on human rights. 2. Internationally recognized standards for corporate responsibility, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, also apply to ICANN. This point is further explored in a paper presented as a background material to this session available at: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Continuing+the+conv… 3. Actors operating in ICANN have different responsibilities with regards to human rights. States in the GAC are bound by treaties and international obligations to protect human rights, while ICANN as an organization needs to respect human rights in its policies and procedures. 4. The mandate of ICANN is very specific and the discussion on human rights needs to observe the limits of ICANN’s remit. The impact of ICANN’s policies on first generation human rights, such as the right to privacy and right to freedom of expression is particularly important and needs to be assessed. 5. ICANN contracted parties have identified difficulties operate with different national laws. There is need for guidance to reconcile the need to respect local laws and their obligation to contractual compliance with ICANN. The obligations faced by Registrars regarding the collection of information and the need to harmonize it with data privacy standards was mentioned as an example. 6. There is need to discuss mechanisms to make sure that policies are developed in a manner that is consistent with human rights obligations. 7. A shared concern with this topic can be identified in ICANN communities. Support to start a cross-community effort was expressed during the session in the form of a working party or of a working group. Some possible goals of this cross-community discussion could be: To continue the process of raising awareness about the interplay between ICANN’s policies and human rights; To map and collect information on the concrete cases identified by the community in which further guidance on how to harmonize policies and procedures with human rights would be necessary; To develop guidelines for the procedures that in place or that should be created in the policy development process to ensure the respect for human rights; To propose mechanisms that could help to identify potential human rights implications during the process of policy development. 8. Regarding the next steps, some action items have been suggested: To create a cross-community working group or a cross-community working party, after assessing which of these structures would be the best option; To further the contact with SO and AC chairs in order to jointly assess the way forward and the best way to foster cross-community engagement; Terms of reference for this cross-community work will be developed; Discussion about this topic should continue in ICANN 53 in Buenos Aires. 9.

Policy brief: ICANN’s Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights
by Niels ten Oever Feb. 11, 2015

Feb. 11, 2015

Dear all, Today Article19 released the Policy Brief ICANN’s Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights. You can find it here: http://www.article19.org/resources.php/resource/37845/en/icann%E2%80%99s-co… The paper contains an analysis and recommendations on what ICANN should do to comply with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the human rights due diligence process. To do this ICANN should: 1. weigh the human rights impact of its policies and procedures; 2. develop strategies to ensure that staff and other stakeholders understand this impact; 3. develop and articulate a human rights policy, and make sure employees and other stakeholders know, understand and implement it; 4. develop metrics to monitor ICANN’s human rights performance. I hope this will form a good input for the discussion on ICANN and Human Rights coming Wednesday in Singapore. Perhaps you would want to share the paper as well as the flyer for the session in your networks and on relevant (ICANN) lists. I am attaching all docs here for your convenience. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

I am curious to know if there will be remote participation for the discussion. I know of a few individuals who will not be able to attend the Singapore meetings, but who would be interested in joining the discussion.
