<p>I agree that these sorts of gradations are worthy of working
through from an ICANN insider perspective. I worry that an
uneducated US District court judge may not get them. So we
either make them very specific or at this stage stick with the
original language and not open this can of worms.<br>

policies and processes appropriate to their size and
circumstances, including: (c) Processes to enable the

<p class="MsoNormal"> </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"> </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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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>

troublesome. The UNGP is not a human

international law. So the UNGP does
not belong here. Also, the proposal
would drop this statement into the

international human rights instruments

completely disrupting the analysis. </span></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).

<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></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></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

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></p>
