Update on WS2 Implementation
by Collin Kurre Feb. 5, 2019

Feb. 5, 2019

Dear colleagues, I’m writing with an update from the recent ICANN Board Open Session on WS2 implementation, held 27 January in LA. The basic goals of the session were to clarify when the board will make a decision on approving the WS2 Recommendations, on what basis, and how the community will be consulted. If you’ve got 30 minutes to spare, you can watch the session here: https://participate.icann.org/p8wsolrzf59/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&p… <https://participate.icann.org/p8wsolrzf59/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&p…> If not, notes from the session follow. As you may recall, only one of the WS2 recommendations pertains to human rights — the recommendation that the board adopt the proposed Framework of Interpretation, thereby effecting the dormant Human Rights Bylaw. However, there are 111 more recommendations from seven other topics included in the WS2 package. Find them here: https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Documents <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Documents> This package of recommendations was sent to the ICANN Board for approval on 8 November 2018. In theory, the Board should make their decision within 6 months. That timeline doesn’t seem to be binding, however, and there are a few things that need to happen first: Small Implementation Team of WS2 Co-Chairs / Rapporteurs assembled to assist and provide advice as needed Board will convene a “Caucus Group” to follow WS2 Implementation and report back on progress Org will produce an Implementation Assessment Report to help Board consider report and feasibility of adopting recommendations as a package The Implementation Assessment Report was described as a high-level document to help set expectations with the community and provide info on timing, costs, and dependencies. It’s not meant to provide guidance on tradeoffs that may be needed with other things like implementation of new policies or innovation of existing programs or services. Those decisions will have to be made in consultation with the community, although it’s not yet clear how or when that will occur. Notably, attention was drawn to the fact that resources have only been allocated to WS2 as a contingency in the draft FY20 budget. The justification for not including WS2 in the draft budget doesn’t look promising in terms of timelines: When the WS2 Working Group completes its recommendations, the Board considers an implementation plan that includes the necessary resources. Until approved, the Board works with the community to identify the resources needed for implementation. Therefore, no resources are included for any implementation work until the Board adopts the recommendations. Community members are reminded that the public comment period on this draft budget is open for another 3 days, closing on Friday 8 Feb: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fy20-budget-2018-12-17-en <https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fy20-budget-2018-12-17-en> Kind regards, Collin Kurre CCWP-HR Co-Chair

New blog post on Transparency Reporting
by Collin Kurre Dec. 10, 2018

Dec. 10, 2018

Dear colleagues, A new blog post on DNS Transparency Reporting <https://icannhumanrights.net/dns-transparency-reporting/> has been posted to the icannhumanrights website. While this work wasn’t a formal initiative of the CCWP-HR, it directly relates to transparency, human rights, and corporate social responsibility in the DNS sector. Feel free to share thoughts and reactions on the list. As a general reminder, CCWP-HR members are welcome and encouraged to submit content related to issues outlined in our charter <https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53772653&preview=/…> for publication on the icannhumanrights website. (To give you in idea of reach, we average about 2,500 unique visitors a month —not bad for such a niche subject!) Please get in touch with Akriti or myself if you have ideas for blog posts, reports, etc. Seasons greetings, Collin — Collin Kurre ARTICLE 19

Update: Multistakeholder HRIAs @ IGF 2018
by Collin Kurre Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

Dear all, The CCWP-HR and NCUC co-organized a workshop to introduce new HRIA models under development in ICANN <https://icannhumanrights.net/hrias-in-icann-constructive-innovation> to the broader internet governance community during the 2018 IGF, held 12-14 November in Paris. During the workshop, many participants highlighted the challenge of defining rights-holders amongst internet users. Even so, there was broad support for companies and standard-setting bodies to introduce human rights commitments and due diligence mechanisms <https://icannhumanrights.net/due-diligence-and-why-it-matters/>. One area of divergence related to which subset of rights should be prioritized, e.g. children’s, cultural, or LGBTQI rights. Examples were given to demonstrate that impact assessment methodologies can be tailored to address specific, or various, categories of rights. As a result, participants suggested that such tools can make the subject of human rights more practical and tangible, or allow people with divergent positions to engage in a constructive way. There was widespread multistakeholder support for organizing a High-Interest or Cross-Community Session on the subject of human rights during ICANN64, which will be held in March 2019. This will be an opportunity to showcase the CCWP-HR's progress on designing and testing impact assessments geared toward ICANN policy development processes. The initial HRIA model can be found here <https://icannhumanrights.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DRAFT-ICANN-HRIA-qu…>; trial work on the Subsequent Procedures PDP kicked off this month. VIDEO FROM THE SESSION <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtzw3CAj8s8&feature=youtu.be&t=143> WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION & REPORT <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-ws-349-a-multista…> Kind regards, Collin Kurre

Suggested workflow for trial HRIAs
by Collin Kurre Nov. 29, 2018

Nov. 29, 2018

Dear colleagues, Below is a suggested workflow synthesizing ideas about how to get the ball rolling on HRIAs in the ICANN community while helping newcomers become more involved in policy development processes. As approval of WS2 is drawing ever closer, it would be great to go ahead and get started on the first trial HRIA. This way we can have at least one trial under our belt when the Human Rights Bylaw kicks into effect. (Find background resources on the CCWP-HR website <https://icannhumanrights.net/documents/>.) What do you think? All feedback welcome. Warm regards, Collin Kurre ================= Suggested Workflow for Trial ICANN Policy HRIA Identify PDP for trial. Suggestions received: RPMs, Subsequent Procedures (specific work tracks?), EPDP. Which should be prioritized? Gather and review resources on select PDP. This will be an important step for members who aren’t currently active in the target PDP. Shared folders and communication channels will be established to promote knowledge exchange. HRIA Team attends at least 3 meetings of the PDP to get a feel for the group’s status and key players. Newcomers will also have the opportunity to shadow veterans and observe the PDP process in action. Jointly determine the best approach for carrying out the assessment based on shared experiences in the target PDP. Example methodologies: direct participation, interviews, mailing list reviews, desk research, or any combination thereof. We can dedicate one of our CCWP-HR calls to this discussion. Complete and publish assessment with the methodology clearly explained in an annex. Repeat! Building on lessons learned in the first trial.

Human Rights at ICANN63
by Collin Kurre Nov. 7, 2018

Nov. 7, 2018

Dear colleagues, First, a special welcome to our new members, from across stakeholder groups and around the world. I look forward to working with you! I’m pleased to report that great progress was made at ICANN63 in Barcelona. Some highlights: - WS2 recommendations have now been approved by all Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. It's not yet clear what the timeline for final approval by the Board is as far as I know — please chime in if you have additional information. - Human Rights Impact Assessments were a major topic in the NCSG’s meeting with the ICANN Board – video <https://livestream.com/icannmeeting/events/8416046/videos/182340946> (starts at 33:38) We also had a constructive exchange with Ergys and Betsy from ICANN’s Public Responsibility team during our CCWP-HR session, where we confirmed that both the methodology and the unredacted results from the assessment will be made public once it has wrapped up. - HRIAs also featured in ICANN CEO Göran Marby’s opening remarks during the ICANN63 Welcome Ceremony, a clear indication of the community’s success in putting human rights on the agenda: “One thing I also want to mention that is dear to my heart is that – surprising to many of you — we have done something that we’ve never done before; and that’s a human rights assessment of ICANN org. It’s only ICANN org, but what we’re doing right now is trying to measure ourselves so that when we do things, we do them according to the principles of human rights. We are a technical organization, but by your instruction in the community, we were performed to do this, and I’m very proud that we’re working on it.“ video <https://livestream.com/icannmeeting/events/8415981/videos/182270817> (starts at 41:56) However — it’s very important to reiterate that ICANN’s HRIA does not cover DNS policy, which has obvious implications for freedom of expression, privacy, and numerous other rights. (Learn more in the CCWP-HR’s latest paper <https://icannhumanrights.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ICANN-PDPs-and-Huma…> on human rights impacts of ongoing PDPs.) So where’s the HRIA to assess the impacts of ICANN’s policies and ensure that they live up to the Human Rights Bylaw? It’s up to us to create it! A lot of new ideas about how to do this cropped up in Barcelona — I’ll follow up on that in another email in the coming days. On a more macro level, there are currently many conversations underway within the GNSO and the broader community about improving the efficiency and effectiveness of consensus-based community policy development processes. We touched on the subject of the GNSO’s “PDP 3.0” as it may be articulated with the Human Rights Bylaw in our September <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Meeting+Notes> call, and discussed the relationship between bottom-up consensus and WS2 recommendations on diversity and transparency in Barcelona. The evolution of ICANN’s multistakeholder model, particularly as it relates to the new standards for human rights, diversity, transparency, and accountability, will be an important topic to keep track of as conversations evolve. To wrap up, I have an announcement: we’re seeking a Co-Chair! Please get in touch if you are interested. A big THANK YOU to Michael Karanicolas, who stepped down during our meeting in Barcelona. We, and I, appreciate the contributions you made over the past year and hope you’ll stick around. Your expertise on transparency and open data are a real asset to this community. Greetings from London, Collin Kurre
