Hi All, On a larger note, some of us have been working on principles for Voluntary PICs/RVCs in keeping with the 2016 Bylaws, responsive to concerns raised by the ICANN Board, and following our informative conversation with Becky and Avri, our Board liaisons. We re-propose the three “Guardrails for Voluntary PICs” and add a fourth one for our valuable, formative Human Rights Core Value. FOUR GUARDRAILS FOR VOLUNTARY PUBLIC INTEREST COMMITMENTS/RVCS ENTERED INTO BY ICANN AND NEW GTLD REGISTRIES 1. VOLUNTARY PICS/RVCS CAN ONLY ADDRESS ISSUES WITH DOMAIN NAMES THEMSELVES, INCLUDING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA CONSISTENT WITH POINT 2 BELOW—NOT THE CONTENTS OF WEBSITES OR APPS THAT USE DOMAIN NAMES; 2. COMMITMENTS NEED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE HUMAN RIGHTS CORE VALUE ESTABLISHED IN THE ICANN BYLAWS; 3. PICS/RVCS SHOULD NOT GIVE REGISTRIES UNBOUNDED DISCRETION TO SUSPEND DOMAIN NAMES; AND 4. PICS/RVCS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO CREATE NEW POLICIES THAT DIDN’T COME THROUGH ICANN PROCESSES. Please note that the Guardrails below are designed to include all GAC-negotiated settlements (original purpose of voluntary PICs), and we would be happy to insert a statement if that needs to be set out even more clearly. Best, Kathy
