From collin at article19.org Tue Feb 5 17:30:31 2019 From: collin at article19.org (Collin Kurre) Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2019 17:30:31 +0000 Subject: [cc-humanrights] Update on WS2 Implementation Message-ID: <3770A601-B635-4FDD-A1C6-444D4FD4518A@article19.org> Dear colleagues, I?m writing with an update from the recent ICANN Board Open Session on WS2 implementation, held 27 January in LA. The basic goals of the session were to clarify when the board will make a decision on approving the WS2 Recommendations, on what basis, and how the community will be consulted. If you?ve got 30 minutes to spare, you can watch the session here: https://participate.icann.org/p8wsolrzf59/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal&proto=true If not, notes from the session follow. As you may recall, only one of the WS2 recommendations pertains to human rights ? the recommendation that the board adopt the proposed Framework of Interpretation, thereby effecting the dormant Human Rights Bylaw. However, there are 111 more recommendations from seven other topics included in the WS2 package. Find them here: https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Documents This package of recommendations was sent to the ICANN Board for approval on 8 November 2018. In theory, the Board should make their decision within 6 months. That timeline doesn?t seem to be binding, however, and there are a few things that need to happen first: Small Implementation Team of WS2 Co-Chairs / Rapporteurs assembled to assist and provide advice as needed Board will convene a ?Caucus Group? to follow WS2 Implementation and report back on progress Org will produce an Implementation Assessment Report to help Board consider report and feasibility of adopting recommendations as a package The Implementation Assessment Report was described as a high-level document to help set expectations with the community and provide info on timing, costs, and dependencies. It?s not meant to provide guidance on tradeoffs that may be needed with other things like implementation of new policies or innovation of existing programs or services. Those decisions will have to be made in consultation with the community, although it?s not yet clear how or when that will occur. Notably, attention was drawn to the fact that resources have only been allocated to WS2 as a contingency in the draft FY20 budget. The justification for not including WS2 in the draft budget doesn?t look promising in terms of timelines: When the WS2 Working Group completes its recommendations, the Board considers an implementation plan that includes the necessary resources. Until approved, the Board works with the community to identify the resources needed for implementation. Therefore, no resources are included for any implementation work until the Board adopts the recommendations. Community members are reminded that the public comment period on this draft budget is open for another 3 days, closing on Friday 8 Feb: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fy20-budget-2018-12-17-en Kind regards, Collin Kurre CCWP-HR Co-Chair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Before you click the link, please note: - The issues listed in the document are neither definitive nor comprehensive, and - This is a draft methodology with room for improvement. Dive right in! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EKpMCef8kiZ2tJE2AU78q9_oeJehGbR7bWpQ5wt7D5I/edit?usp=sharing Our next CCWP-HR call will be held Wednesday 20 February at 1400 UTC (calendar invite attached). This call will feature a brief presentation about how the HRIA models have evolved over time, but it will largely be dedicated to community discussion on the opportunities, challenges, and overall viability of the latest model. Members who have been active in the Sub Pros PDP are encouraged to attend. Please feel free to share your impressions and questions on-list beforehand, or leave comments directly in the spreadsheet that we can address during the call. Many thanks, see you next week, 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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
