Dear all,
ICANN published its first internal Human
Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) . The report, which was developed by Löning
– Human Rights and Responsible Business, assesses the human rights impacts of ICANN's daily operations.
The Löning team used well-established and respected human rights mechanisms to assess internal organizational processes and procedures in the areas of human resources, procurement, meetings, and
security operations. They analyzed and mapped the impacts, prioritizing based on their severity and on ICANN org's ability to leverage change. The Löning team reported overall positive findings along with a set of actionable recommendations to improve the
impacts of ICANN's daily operations. Areas of improvement include continuing efforts to raise awareness and train staff on specific issues, as well as formalizing good practices into policies.
The report will be translated into the additional five standard UN languages and made available on icann.org.
