[cc-humanrights] Suggested workflow for trial HRIAs

Thu Nov 29 15:54:23 UTC 2018

Dear colleagues,

Many thanks to everyone who weighed in on which PDP we should focus on for the trial HRIA. To summarize the feedback received on- and off-list:
The EPDP isn’t a good bet because it’s fast-moving and very politicized.
RPMs isn’t well suited because it’s been going on for years and is simultaneously very technical and very legal. 
That leaves Subsequent Procedures as our PDP for trial. 

SubPros isn’t just the product of elimination — it’s a good fit for this project. This PDP has the potential to influence rights in direct and indirect ways <https://icannhumanrights.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ICANN-PDPs-and-Human-Rights-CCWP-HR-Sept-2018.pdf>, which makes it a good PDP for testing our HRIA modeling. Moreover, it’s a timely moment to join SubPros as new Working Group Sub Groups just kicked off at the beginning of November.

I’ve already reached out to touch base with the people who expressed interest in contributing to this initiative, but it’s not too late to tag along! If you’d like to join the “HRIA Team,” please let me know and I’ll include you in the coordination thread. 

If you have SubPros experience but are unable to contribute to the HRIA team, perhaps you could assist with pointing the team in the right direction as we proceed to Step 2 below. A lot of folks on the HRIA team are new to PDPs, and most (including myself) haven’t been involved in SubPros in the past, so guidance from more experienced members would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Collin

Suggested Workflow for Trial ICANN Policy HRIA

Identify PDP for trial: Subsequent Procedures ✔️
Gather and review resources on select PDP. This will be an important step for members who aren’t currently active in the target PDP. Shared folders and communication channels will be established to promote knowledge exchange. 
HRIA Team attends at least 3 meetings of the PDP to get a feel for the group’s status and key players. Newcomers will also have the opportunity to shadow veterans and observe the PDP process in action.
Jointly determine the best approach for carrying out the assessment based on shared experiences in the target PDP. Example methodologies: direct participation, interviews, mailing list reviews, desk research, or any combination thereof. We can dedicate one of our CCWP-HR calls to this discussion.
Complete and publish assessment with the methodology clearly explained in an annex.
Repeat! Building on lessons learned in the first trial.

An HRIA in this case seems unneeded and could potentially delay finalization of the EPDP recommendations beyond the May 2019 deadline mandated by the Temp Spec.

If an HRIA is to be suggested for a PDP, in my opinion it should be floated earlier rather than later as a matter of fairness to the WGs and as a matter of ensuring that the HRIA have a fair chance to help shape the final product.

Adding an important but non necessary complication to their work will be received very negatively in my option and will taint the perception of the HRIAs across ICANN before we have even had a start to build a solid reputation.

This way we can have at least one trial under our belt when the Human Rights Bylaw kicks into effect. (Find background resources on the CCWP-HR website <https://icannhumanrights.net/documents/>.)
