<p>Dear Jorge</p>
<p>Thank you for your detail and clarity as well.</p>
<p>I understand the intent of the separation of the SOs etc from
other functions of ICANN. I just am not sure that "business" is
the right way to describe the other functions - so many of those
functions are closer to global public good functions rather than
"business" - certainly business as understood in the Ruggie
Principles.<br>
</p>
<p>As I think further about the risks I am concerned about, I would
agree with Greg Shatan's observation:</p>
<p>"Finally, none of this is to say that Ruggie should not be
considered in the implementation of the Human Rights Core Value --
which is already supported in the Considerations portion of the
document.<br>
</p>
<p>It is to say that Ruggie should not be used to interpret the
meaning of the Bylaw itself."</p>
<p>I will leave it to other to consider whether my comments helps us
resolve your language as it stands. I am not trying to be
disrespectul of your efforts or the comments by the three
government. I am just very skeptical about how uninformed judges
interpret such language.</p>
<p>Best</p>
<p>Paul<br>
</p>

during work stream 1 (now it seems ages ago…) have IMO been
taken care by the adopted Bylaws themselves – a compromise

international instruments, of the UNGP: “</span><b><i><span

lang="EN-US"> As I explained below this is a statement of
fact that should not be problematic. The UNGP are an
international instrument endorsed by the United Nations. As
other declarations mentioned in the FoI, it is not as such a
legally binding document, but it was unanimously endorsed in
2011 by the United Nations Human Rights Council through a
formal resolution. ICANN has, as many have said here,
business organization aspects – I may well accept to nuance
it as Avri proposed (“not-profit business organization”, I
think) – so it is a relevant instrument.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

avoid any danger whatsoever of extension of the UNGP to the
non-business elements of ICANN (SO/ACs) as there is specific
mention that the UNGP would be relevant only for ICANN the
Organization. In addition, the mention is constrained to
having to “<u>consider</u>” the UNGP “<u>as a useful guide</u>”
when applying the core value.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the specific text proposals and, in a spirit of compromise,
we made concrete proposals that would address specific and
factual concerns arising from the proposed two sentences.
After all this is a proposal. At the same time, as said,
this is an intended common ground proposal that differs, by
being significantly less ambitious, from the public comment
proposals filed by the Governments of Switzerland, UK and
Brazil – which have at various time been supported by a
number of other countries and participants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Just to give one
example, let us look at ccTLD operators. ICANN does have a
range of agreements within around 86 ccTLD operators, (See:
</span><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/cctlds/cctlds-en"><span
lang="EN-US">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/cctlds/cctlds-en</span></a><span
lang="EN-US">) 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.
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. By definition,
it has to be able to serve every ccTLD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>

Businesses and Human Rights (UNGP) are the

that it should be mentioned under the

any extension of the UNGP to the
non-business elements of ICANN (SO/ACs)
there is specific mention that the UNGP
would be relevant only for ICANN the
Organization. In addition, the mention is
constrained to having to “consider” the UNGP
“as a useful guide” – which, in our view,
eliminates any perceived danger of creating
any obligation whatsoever through this
mention. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

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><span
lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"

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><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

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><span

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.
