Hi,<br>
<br>
Many of us argue that Human Rights is an essential component of any
definition of Public Interest. How can something be in the Public
Interest if it contravenes human rights, especially those that are
binding upon nations and obligatory for businesses, especially those
which are defined as adhering to all applicable international law.<br>
<br>
However, we have seen that in arriving at expression of public
interest, it is often necessary to balance those human rights, all
of which stand equal as human rights, but that have different
emphasis in different national regimes, even among those who
justifiably can claim an adherence to human rights.<br>
<br>
As a organization, ICANN needs to adhere to human rights mandates
and needs to do so in the public interest. It is my understanding
that our bottom-up processes are the means by which we determine our
understanding of the public interest. But in doing so, we must
always be sure we do not infringe upon human rights.<br>
<br>
Just as there are many ways to achieve stability, security and
resilience, and we determine that through our bottom-up processes,
as modulated through the advice of our experts on security and
stability in the SSAC and RSSAC, there are many ways to serve the
public interest that need to be determined through adherence to
bylaws manadated bottom-up processes and modulated through expert
advice on human rights.<br>
<br>
So perhaps we should be considering "public interest consistent with
human rights."<br>

<div>First, you said you didn't remember the suggestion and
now you state the suggestion had no support. As I wasn't
able to be in Frankfurt I would appreciate clarification of
the status of this worthy idea. I'm personally not a big fan
of the generic term "public interest", finding that in
practice "public interest" usually morphs into "personal
interest": that is, "the public it is I". I realise that
creation of a consensus definition of the public interest is
called for in the draft 5 year OP but I do find Robin's idea
to be worthy of discussion by the wider WG and thank staff
for including it in the summary document.</div>
