>>  *(No.123) Human Rights, Internet Policy and the Public Policy Role of
>> ICANN*
>>
>>  The recent years have proven that the openness of Internet is a
>> fundamental feature for the empowerment of citizens and the
>> strengthening of democracies. The framing of Internet policy should be
>> oriented towards this goal and the policies governing the Domain Name
>> System are not a stranger to this debate.
>> On one hand, a human rights assessment on new ICANN policies could
>> provide the community with means to better understand the impacts of
>> the introduction of new policies in the ICANN environment, in addition
>> to economic analyses. On the other, new regulation is being proposed
>> in numerous countries using the DNS system as a resource to prevent or
>> stop illicit activities. The fine balance between law enforcement and
>> the protection of human rights, such as free speech and privacy, among
>> others, is crucial for a number of new Internet regulations that
>> affects the DNS.
>> For example there are tensions between the potential benefits of
>> aggregating specific forms of content for communities of people to
>> support their right to information, and the ease of DNS filtering to
>> further censor or narrow the spaces for expression and information of
>> already marginalised/discriminated against sections of society, for
>> example, the introduction of dotgay.
>> Especially at ICANN, free speech concerns over the implementation of
>> new generic top level domains and the traditional debate over privacy
>> and the WHOIS highlights the need for a more concrete analysis on the
>> impact on human rights on ICANN activities.
>> However, ICANN is not a human rights standard setting body yet is
>> responsible for public policy making, although in a very narrow
>> sphere. The role and responsibility of ICANN in relation to human
>> rights needs further exploration and multi-stakeholder dialogue to
>> better understand how to give effect to human rights related issues
>> within ICANN.
>> The proposed workshop will provide a comprehensive analysis of
>> internet policy topics handled by ICANN that have human rights
>> implications and examine how these implications are paramount to the
>> fostering of the public interest in internet policy.
