Thanks Niels and many thanks to the drafting team.  Due to an all-lawyers meeting in our office, I will not be able to participate in the call.  I do congratulate the drafting team.  The only suggestion I have is that the Framework should make reference not only to the need to balance Core Values but also, in some cases, the need to balance one or more human rights against one or more other human rights.  For example, it is quite clear that the current RPM structure strikes a balance between free speech and privacy (Article 19 of the UN Declaration) and the human rights of authors (both creatively as a matter of property rights (Article 26 of the UN Declaration).  This “balancing act” will be important in the ongoing policy processes leading up to the next “round” or “rounds”. 

 

Thus, I believe there should be a simple reference to the possible need to balance human rights considerations among each other in certain situations.  For example,

 

 

“In addition to balancing Core Values, it will  be necessary at times for ICANN to balance various  human rights among each other, giving due weight to the context of policies being considered and to respecting the existing policy-making  processes within the ICANN Community.”

 

Thank you,

Anne

Dear all,

It was a great pleasure to see many of you in Hyderabad. Next to
pleasurable it has also been a very productive week. The drafting has
team  managed to meet several times. Product of these meetings is an
initial, clean FoI document.

You can find the document attached and here:

For the first reading of this document I would like to propose the

  Roll call, absentees, SoIs, etc
2. Analysis and discussion on the progress of the drafting team working
on the new proposal for FoI
  a.‘within the scope of its Mission’
  b.‘within the scope of other Core Values’
  c.‘respecting’
  d. ‘internationally recognized human rights’
  e. ‘as required by applicable law’
  f. ‘This Core Value does not create, and shall not be interpreted to
   create, any obligation on ICANN outside its Mission or beyond
obligations found in applicable law’
  g. ‘‘This Core Value does not obligate ICANN to enforce its human
rights obligations or the human rights obligations of other parties,
against other parties’
3. AOB

Thanks again to the drafting team for their great work in the spirit of
consensus and the multistakeholder model.

Comments and suggestions are welcome as always.

Looking forward to the call.
