<pre wrap="">Dear Corinne,
Thanks for your great work, it might help to have a bit of background in
to the discussion that we extensively had in CCWG WP4 on this. There was
no clear agreement whatsoever on using the Ruggie Principles, so
assuming we will might ruffle some feathers.
Next to that we might need think whether it would be necessary to go
this deep and far at all. Maybe an FoI could simply be an explanatory
report to the bylaw which explains:
- What does it mean to respect
- What does it mean to not enforce
- Reference to applicable instruments
- Whether other documents are needed in addition to the bylaw (e.g. HR
policy
I think that less might be more.
Happy to discuss on the call and hear what other people think.
Best,
Niels

<pre wrap="">Dear all,
I have been working on the FOI - and developed some completely new text
on the basis of your suggestions, which you can find below.
I have focused on the Ruggie principles as the standard for ICANN to
uphold. I assume this is still open for discussion, but for the time
being (or unless Tatiana, Aarti or Vidushi tell me that I have no
business making these kinds of decisions as a none-lawyer ;) I am
focusing on Ruggie.
However, I am running into some troubles trying to actually flesh out
what steps should be taken to ensure the interpretation of the Ruggie
principles happens as we believe will best ensure ICANN's commitment to
respect human rights.
Right now I combined text from the HRIA document, the research done
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.ihrb.org/pdf/reports/2015-11-17-ICANN-Corporate-Responsibility-to-Respect-Human-Rights.pdf"><http://www.ihrb.org/pdf/reports/2015-11-17-ICANN-Corporate-Responsibility-to-Respect-Human-Rights.pdf></a>
by Article 19 and the guiding principles
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/HR.PUB.12.2_En.pdf"><http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/HR.PUB.12.2_En.pdf></a>for the
Ruggie principles. But I feel like I am going in circles, and suggesting
in the FOI that we need the development of other policies and
procedures. Which I don't think is the best way forward.
If anyone has any thoughts now, or on the call later today that would be
much appreciated!
Best,
*FOI Version 3 *
The purpose of this Framework of Interpretation (FOI) is to give a
framework for applying human rights principles to ensure that ICANN
respects internationally recognized human rights. The most appropriate
principles to set as the standard in the case of ICANN are the UN
Guiding Principleson Business and Human Rights, also known as the Ruggie
principles. These principles present a set of guidelines for States and
companies to ‘protect, respect, and remedy’ human rights abuses
committed in business operations. Their unique tailoring to businesses
makes them a good fit for ICANN. The word respect in this case refers to
companies’ responsibility to avoid infringing on the human rights of
others and should address adverse human rights impacts with which they
are involved (Guiding principle 11,
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/GuidingPrinciplesBusinessHR_EN.pdf"><http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/GuidingPrinciplesBusinessHR_EN.pdf></a>for
implementing the Ruggie Principles).
The overall Ruggie principles has three tiers:
1. State responsibility to protect against human rights abuses by third
entities, including businesses through policies, regulation and
adjudication.
2. Corporate responsibility to respect human rights, in which businesses
are asked to practice due diligence (see definition below) to avoid
infringing on the rights of others and address instances of adverse
impact in which they are involved.
3. Access to effective remedy for victims, both judicial and non-judicial.
This framework of interpretation develops a set of guiding principles
based on those presented by the UN for the Ruggie principles and
specifically focused on the second tier: the corporate responsibility to
respect human rights.
*Corporate responsibility to respect human rights:*
In addition to an explicit human rights commitment, companies need to
adopt a due diligence approach to their business processes. Due
diligence in the case of human rights refers to the: “An ongoing risk
management process…in order to identify, prevent, mitigate and account
for how [a company] addresses its adverse human rights impacts. It
includes four key steps: assessing actual and potential human rights
impacts; integrating and acting on the findings; tracking responses; and
communicating about how impacts are addressed.” (UN Ruggie Principles).
In practice this mean companies need to have in place on-going processes
that identify potential human rights abuses, that allow them to respond
in a timely fashion with measures to prevent these abuses. These
processes can also identify ongoing human rights abuses, and as such,
need to include procedures to remedy those. Keeping in mind that this
framework of interpretation does not create any additional obligation
for ICANN to respond to or consider any complaint, request or demand
seeking the enforcement of human rights by ICANN.
Based on this information the following steps should be taken to ensure
proper interpretation of the Ruggie Principles:
_Phase 1: Human rights impact analysis_
a.) A planning and scoping phase that includes scoping of (i) ICANN’s
business activities to understand the scale and type of ICANN’s
operations, and (ii) the human rights context of ICANN’soperation to
understand the human rights topics in the particular ICANN operational
context.
b.) Data collection and baseline phase: additional data gathering to
better understand the key human rights areas identified in phase a,
through further research, as well as interviews and stakeholder
engagement.
c.) Impact analysis: systematically identify any human rights impacts of
ICANN operations and to assess their severity against the Ruggie Principles.
d.) Present an impact analysis matrix.
_Phase 2: Mitigation and prevention system for human rights abuses_
a.) Manage and mitigate impact by applying a mitigation hierarchy that
first focuses on prevention, and where not possible applies mitigation
strategies.This includes finding ways to exercise leverage to address
impacts in collaboration with third parties, including business
partners, stakeholders, government agencies etc.
b.) Clearly establish roles and responsibility, allocate resources and
establish performance indicators, milestones and deadlines to be
followed.
_Phase 3: Presentation of findings _
a.) Present the responses to the issues identified on an on going basis.
_Phase 4: Reporting and evaluation_
a.) Reporting publically on progress periodically.
b.) Develop mechanism to feed these results back into phase 2.
c.) ICANN board and management should carry out a comprehensive (and
preferably an external) process of review and evaluation of its Policy
and Management Plan/System after three to five years of implementation.
