Summary of calls SG1 (visualisation) and SG4 (new gTLDs)
Hello everyone, Subgroup 1 on visualisation of CANN's potential impact on human rights, and Subgroup 4 on providing input to the new gTLD review process had their meetings on December 3rd and 4th, respectively. You will find is a brief summary of discussions below. Please feel free to ask further questions and feel encouraged to join us! Best wishes, Marília *SUMMARY OF SG1 CALL (03/12)* *1. Terms of reference of SG1* 0. Mandate - ---------- Produce a visualization correlating ICANN’s policies and procedures with the specific human rights they touch upon with the aim to raise awareness and present a contribution to policy development. 1. Output - --------- - Produce a mapping of ICANN’s policies and procedures that have an impact on human rights - Develop a way to better visualize ICANN’s policies and procedures and their interplay with specific human rights - Raise awareness about ICANNs (potential) impact on human rights in different parts of the ICANN community 2. Calls - -------- Every 2 weeks 3. Some potential topics - - ------------------------ - What are the policies and procedures that present and impact on human rights? - What would be the best and user-friendly way to visualize this correlation? - What would be the best way and the channels to disseminate the output of the SG? 4. Issues to discuss - -------------------- Defining potential models of visualization *2. Proposed timeline for SG1* (subject to adjustments as needed) 2-4 Dec: 1st call. Approval of the work plan, timeline and terms of reference 7-21 Dec: policy mapping (conducting consultations with the community) and research on visualization design (ex. wheel of rights? Other?) 21 Dec-4 Jan: Recess 4-18Jan: discussion and choice of a model for visualization and production of V.1 18 Jan-1 Fev: external consultation (CCWP and the community) 1-15 Fev: Incorporating feedback and production V.2 15-25 fev: Finalization and discussing possible printing *3. Initial brainstorm of the table and visualization* We have revisited the table and wheel of rights presented during the public meeting of the CCWP. Some initial ideas have been exchanged, most notably that: - Maybe the wheel should be made simpler, showing only the rights that have been more directly touched upon by ICANN's policies and procedures. The goal may be to start it simple and gradually increase complexity tailoring it to different audiences. *SUMMARY OF SG4 CALL (04/12)* *1) Draft terms of reference* 0. Mandate - ---------- Providing input to ICANN’s new gTLD program from a human rights perspective. 1. Output - --------- - Produce a mapping of new gTLD related policy development processes, reports, assessments, metrics, etc that are relevant from a human rights standpoint - Writing inputs to public comment periods and other similar processes - Raising awareness and fostering collaboration with ICANN community so that human rights concerns are taken into account in the new gTLD program 2. Calls - -------- Monthly calls or whenever necessary 3. Some potential topics - - ----------------------- The subgroup aims to provide inputs to discussions and policies related to the new gTLD program, including but not limited to: - The Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review process and the teams and reports related to this topic; - The potentially upcoming GNSO policy development process on new gTLD subsequent procedures. *2) Status of the key "tracks" in which the new gTLDs are being discussed:* - Competition, consumer trust and consumer choice review (CCT) --> nominations for the review team have been made. A decision on the composition of the group will be announced. - Implementation review --> a draft report produced by ICANN staff. This is a non-policy document that should feed into the CCT work. https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-draft-review-2015-09-23-en - Potential GNSO policy development process of new gTLD subsequent procedures. The final issue report on new gTLD subsequent procedures has been published: http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent -procedures-final-issue-04dec15-en.pdf Comments received during the public comment period can be found here: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-subsequent -prelim-2015-08-31-en. We are now one step closer to starting the policy development process: "The staff recommendation is that the Council initiate a PDP to consider and analyze issues discussed in the Final Issue Report on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures to determine whether changes or adjustments to the existing policy recommendations in the Final Report on the Introduction of New Generic Top-Level Domains are needed. The outcome of the PDP may lead to (i) amending or overriding existing policy principles, recommendations, and implementation guidelines; (ii) developing new policy recommendations, and/or (iii) supplementing or developing new implementation guidance". A motion is being prepared to be appreciated by the GNSO. *3) Potential need for prioritization of issues and Sharing of tasks* The group will review the relevant documents related to the new gTLD program, identify the key issues that relate to human rights and each subgroup member may identify the theme(s) they would like to focus on. To facilitate this process, a gdoc has been opened and will be constantly updated as a living document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yOUfxFaNFFQKn4eZ6Z1ydXqARpB7bmUISiMi2IYR... The division of tasks will be further discussed in the next call. *4) Next call* A doodle will be sent for a date to be identified in the second week of January. -- *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

We would like to thank the CCWG on Accountability for its hard work in compiling this report. This is a crucial step in the transition of the oversight over ICANN from the US government to the global community, which is generally welcomed. <organization or individual> especially welcomes the inclusion of the bylaw language reaffirming and clarifying ICANN’s obligation to respect human rights. We find the proposal for bylaw language on human rights to be clear and balanced. We appreciate the fact that it limits the commitment to ICANN's mission and operations only and provides a clear distinction between ICANN's adherence to respect human rights and obligation to enforce human rights, placing the latter outside of the scope of the ICANN's mission. We are aware of the discussions on the inclusion of particular human rights related international legal instruments, such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), into the bylaw language. We welcome the proposed version of the bylaw language, which does not refer to particular international legal instruments. In our view, there is no need to outline specific international documents in the bylaws since there is no reason in principle why particular instruments (e.g. the UDHR) should be referenced at the expense of other important international treaties. At the same time, we agree that the issues related to the applicability of international instruments in the context of ICANN's commitment to respect human rights must be addressed in Work Stream 2. We strongly support the proposal to include the interim bylaw for the purpose of ensuring that Work Stream 2, which will facilitate the development of the framework for interpretation of the human rights commitment, will take place. We further agree with the issues identified in Annex 6 of the Draft which will be the subject of further work in Workstream 2. We hope that Workstream 2 will be carried out in the same collaborative, inclusive and open manner as the whole work of CCWG up to now and will result in a clear framework for interpretation and implementation of ICANN's commitment to human rights.
Please accept my apologies but I have another engagement at that time ( ie Court) and I will not be able to check in on this important conf call. regards Karel On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at 11:02 PM, Niels ten Oever <niels@article19.org> wrote:
