<font color="#330033">"public interest consistent with human
rights."<br><br>
</font>The public interest can include issues far removed from human
rights - thus replacing the term public interest as Robin suggested is
not acceptable. Those other issues may not be inconsistent with human
rights, so the statement may be accurate, but nevertheless misleading in
that it could be inferred that the only public interest issues that are
excluded are those that violate human rights.<br><br>
If we would have thought that human rights guaranteed by international
treaty are implicit in any definition of public interest, but if it is
really necessary to call them out, then "public interest, including
human rights".<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><br>

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.<br><br>

The “public interest” or the “benefit of the public, not just in the
interests of a particular set of stakeholders” had a large support as
part of the “CCWG Accountability – Problem definition” document (purposes
of ICANN’s accountability, d.)<br><br>

Dear Adam,<br><br>
<br><br>
I may have missed some of the mails exchanged but I don’t remember that
it was suggested that the public interest be replaced by human rights and
internet freedom.<br><br>
