I would highly caution against using the epdp for this, the epdp is already under heat stress and deadline pressure. Adding an important but non necessary complication to their work will be received very negatively in my option and will taint the perception of the HRIAs across ICANN before we have even had a start to build a solid reputation.

I think the EPDP would be a good place to start for 2 reasons. Firstly the unique nature of it. There will be more opportunity in the future to do HRIA's for other PDP's but since EPDP's are rarer, it would be good to get a HRIA for it done while we can? Secondly, since Collin has had the opportunity and will probably continue to have the chance to participate in the EPDP, it will be easier for us to catch up and have more insight into the process? Feel free to disagree and let me know if that doesn't make sense though!

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 1. Identify PDP for trial. Suggestions received: RPMs, Subsequent Procedures (specific work tracks?), EPDP. Which should be prioritized? 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Complete and publish assessment with the methodology clearly explained in an annex. 6. Repeat! Building on lessons learned in the first trial. _______________________________________________ cc-humanrights mailing list cc-humanrights@icann.org<mailto:cc-humanrights@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-humanrights _______________________________________________ cc-humanrights mailing list cc-humanrights@icann.org<mailto:cc-humanrights@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-humanrights
