Hi all,

It seems there is consensus about the text for the session at ICANN52,
or does anyone have any issues with this text? All comments are very
welcome.

Human right and ICANN - continuing the conversation

There is a growing recognition in parts of the community that
some of ICANN’s policies and other actions may have implications for
human rights like freedom of expression and the right to privacy.
While ICANN is not the place to negotiate over such rights, it would
be advisable on political and other grounds to assess whether our work
is fully consistent with internationally agreed human rights laws and
policies, and to identify possible methods for addressing any
incompatibilities.

To date, these issues have been discussed on a case by case
basis. This cross-community workshop will consider options for
starting a process that could address them in a more systemic
manner.

________

What would be the process to request the room? I would be happy to
send some emails, but given the experiences during last ICANN meeting
it might be more effective if someone more senior in the ICANN
hierarchy would send it. Any takers?

Thanks in advance,

Niels
