</p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Jorge</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this late stage let me be somewhat blunt
to be clear.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The sort of language in the Ruggie Principles
which worry me
is:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>13. The responsibility to respect human rights
requires that business
enterprises: …<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>(b) Seek to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights
impacts that are
directly linked to their operations, products or services by
their business
relationships, even if they have not contributed to those
impacts.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span>15. In order to meet their responsibility to respect
human rights,
business enterprises should have in place policies and
processes appropriate to
their size and circumstances, including: (c) Processes to
enable the
remediation of any adverse human rights impacts they cause or
to which they
contribute.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My concern is not to ensure that ICANN can
continue to
coordinate with all the relevant technical organizations around
the world (many
of which are government run) which enable the operate of the
Domain Name
System, the IP address allocation and the Protocol Parameter
responsibilities
of the IANA functions.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just to give one example, let us look at
ccTLD operators.
ICANN does have a range of agreements within around 86 ccTLD
operators, (See: <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/cctlds/cctlds-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/<wbr>resources/pages/cctlds/cctlds-<wbr>en</a>)
I do not think we intend to establish wording which would result
in dissident
groups from various countries going to a US court arguing that
ICANN is in
breach of its bylaws by having an explicit or implied agreement
with a ccTLD
operator recognized as part of the IANA process, especially
where the
dissident group alleges that the ccTLD operator is breaching
human rights by
following its government’s instructions on registrations. You
can
think of several examples where this may happen.<span> </span>Having the sections above applying to
ICANN (even where it operates as a business) would put at risk
ICANN’s ability
to be a global coordinator as per its mission.<span> </span><span> </span>By
definition, it
has to be able to serve every ccTLD.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Furthermore, any court or other group
thinking that ICANN should under principle 15 take action to
remediate the adverse human rights impact would have to consider
ICANN breaking off links with that ccTLD. Which brings me back
to my global coordinator challenge.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear Jorge<br>
<br>
I have to say that I agree with Greg on this. My
interventions on the HR working group have consistently
focused on the ability of ICANN to operate its IANA and other
technical functions under policy and/or numerous agreements
with numerous technical bodies (such as ccTLD operators, Root
Zone operators etc) in support of a global, interoperable
Internet. The wording you propose would in my view put this
at risk - as I have point several times over the last years
the Rugge Principles, especially as those principles which
apply to supply chains and contractors, are well suited to a
mining company which can decide whether or not to do business
in certain circumstance in certain countries. ICANN does not
have that luxury. It is charged with supporting a Global
Internet and hence has to be able to deal with every relevant
ccTLD operator, Root Zone Operator, RIR etc, many of which it
has agreements. In that sense ICANN is not like a private
company at all.<br>

international human rights instruments are not

mention that the UNGP would be relevant only

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">Regarding
<b>agenda point 8</b> and specifically the <b>dissenting
opinion</b> attached to the Report from the
Subgroup dealing with the Framework of
Interpretation (FOI) of the Human Rights Core
Value (see p. 2 of the attached document),
which I have filed together with a number of
colleagues, I would like to share some
thoughts and a suggested path forward with the
CCWG Plenary before the calls scheduled to
discuss this.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">The main point of the dissent is,
in my view, that we feel that the public
comment period showed the existence of two
schools of thought: some that favored
maintaining the text sent to public comment
“as is” (ALAC to a certain extent, and a
number of different GNSO constituencies) and
those (UK, BRZ, and CH) proposing some steps
forward, especially in the recognition of the
UN Guiding Principles (Ruggie Principles). </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">However, again in our view, the
discussions in the Subgroup did not yield a
properly balanced result, which would have
reflected at least some if not all of the
positions and proposals made by the named
Governments. This relates in particular,
<u>that the FOI text should make stronger
reference to the UN Guiding Principles as
the most relevant voluntary international
standard</u>. In our view, the Subgroup did
not undertake an inclusive enough effort to
determine if a compromise text could be
formulated that would accommodate this
position of the three governments.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">Therefore, I would like to
<u>suggest that the CCWG Plenary could decide
that some additional efforts to reaching a
broader consensus on this important issue
should be made</u> – a broader consensus
that could be more inclusive of all views
expressed during the public comment period.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">Hence, I would
<u>suggest that the CCWG decides that the
Report together with the dissent are sent
back to the Subgroup with the request that a
broader consensus solution is quickly sought
within the coming e.g. 2 weeks after the
Plenary call</u>.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">I hope this way to proceed may
seem reasonable to you and obtain your support
during the abovementioned call. I would be
happy to answer any questions you may have and
look forward to your feedback.
