Marilia Maciel:here until the window of the plane closes
Marilia Maciel:no sound though
HR:I am also here - Megan Richards (European Commission) - my name comes up as HR - I guesss the signin rather than name
Amr Elsadr:Hi Megan..., if you like, you can edit your info using the menu at the top-right of the AC window.
jorge cancio GAC-Switzerland:the content of the chat just disappeared...
jorge cancio GAC-Switzerland:thanks
rafik:Hi Megan, you are welcome :)
Alexandra:Hi everyone, in listening only mode unfortunately
Amr Elsadr:This AC room is audio enabled, so you can use it to speak without dialling into the conference.
matthew shears:Is there a ICANN WP template?
matthew shears:when we were doing the Charter for the CCWG Accountbaility there was a template - granted it is a WG not WP but just wondered
Amr Elsadr:Great. Thanks.
Amr Elsadr:Bringing in/recruiting the expertise would be fantastic.
jorge cancio GAC-Switzerland:As information under 4: GAC agreed in Singapore to form a working group on human rights and international law
jorge cancio GAC-Switzerland:It is now being constituted, with a large number of interested GAC members, and with the work being lead by Peru
Amr Elsadr:@Jorge: That's wonderful. Looking fwd to seeing what this WG comes up with. Thanks.
matthew shears:i think it will be important to ensure linkages betwen the WP and the WG - maybe it should be written into the charter
Amr Elsadr:I see this now in the text on the etherpad, which answers my earlier question: To propose procedures and mechanisms with the aim of producingassessments on if and how policies and procedures
under developedand/or being implemented may impact on human rights.
Monika Zalnieriute:I am here, I can hear everything, but I am not sure I can speak.
Monika Zalnieriute:Do You hear me?
Amr Elsadr:@Monika: Click on the phone icon on the top left of the screen.
matthew shears:I like the idea of looking at HR in the broader framing of CSR - it might be easier for the SOs and ACs to understand (and be open to)
Maryam Bakoshi:@Monika, please give me your number and I will dial out to you
Monika Zalnieriute:Ok, I have turned my mic, it should work,
Monika Zalnieriute:aha, ok, my phone no +370 6 28 52 809
Maryam Bakoshi:Dialling out to you now
Maryam Bakoshi:Yes we can
Niels ten Oever - Article19:Yes we can
Niels ten Oever - Article19:go ahead
Monika Zalnieriute:Ok, so do I speak now?
Niels ten Oever - Article19:Yes, pls go ahead
Niels ten Oever - Article19:We still don't hear you Monika
Monika Zalnieriute:Cool, I hear everything, and I think I agree with Niels
matthew shears:aree Niels - we should focus where we add value and focus - for for example on CSR
Monika Zalnieriute:I see its pretty much clear that we should focus most of our attention on CSR,
Alexandra:It might be useful to look at the Global Network Initiative experience in HR audit
Amr Elsadr:@Monika: I'm not entirely convinced that CSR should be the focus. The real need of HR consideration in ICANN is on how the policies affect domain name holders. This is done using the governance
mechanisms via the contracts between ICANN and the registries and registrars, as well as the contracts between the registrars and the registrants.
Amr Elsadr:I'm not sayin that CSR should be excluded, but it shouldn't dominate the focus of the group.
Avri Doria:aplogies for being late. i thought it was later.
nigel hickson:Assume Lee can talk on COE work?
matthew shears:@ Amr - understand your point re CSR - but I guess my feeling is that using that approach as an umbrella may make the issue for palatable
Amr Elsadr:@Matt: Looks interesting. Will have to put a couple of hours aside to go through it. :)
matthew shears:has this been circulated more broadly Lee?
jorge cancio GAC-Switzerland:will a short summary of this call be circulated?
matthew shears:I think it will be very important going forward that this WP has the fullest visibility of what is going on vis-a-vis ICANN and HR bpoth inside and outsdide ICANN
Amr Elsadr:Thanks all. Bye.
matthew shears:thanks Niels all
Chris LaHatte:thanks
Maryam Bakoshi:Thank you all
jorge cancio GAC-Switzerland:thanks
Anri vd Spuy:Thanks.
