Dear Avri,<br>
<br>
I am not sure what is the point of this discussion? The CCWP by its
very name is a cross community effort. Its members decided early
that they did not have time to go about chasing one's tail on
process and actually do productive work instead. Why the questions
now? Niels has come up with an excellent list of things coming on
the horizon. Shouldn't this group look at the horizon rather than
its own navel?<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

So it is not independent, but rather is a part of the NCSG.
Thanks

<pre wrap="">Hi Avri,
Michael and I were asked about the CCWP-HR's chartering organization
several times in San Juan as well. To follow up on Niels’ helpful
response on the history of its creation, the CCWP-HR was ultimately
formed as an informal, multistakeholder group housed within the
Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group of the GNSO.
The original charter (written many meetings before Abu Dhabi, when our
name was shortened) can be found

The charter was developed with input in-person and on-list from a wide
range of participants from different SOs and ACs, at the time it was
decided that an informal structure would serve the purpose of the CCWP
better, so it was not officially chartered by different SOs and ACs.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
One question I have been asked about this group is: by whom is it
chartered? Is it a bottom up independent group outside the SOAC
structure or has it been chartered by groups within the SOAC structure?
thanks

<pre wrap="">*SUMMARY*:
- Letter from the chair on the CCWP-HR’s renewed importance and
opportunities to engage
- Overview of CCWP-HR session at ICANN61
Fellow members of the CCWP-HR,
First, to those of you who are new to the Cross Community Working
Party on ICANN and Human Rights (CCWP-HR), or new to the ICANN
community: Welcome.
10 ICANN meetings ago, the CCWP-HR was chartered
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53772653&preview=/53772653/54003840/Charter%20of%20CCWP-HR.pdf"><https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=53772653&preview=/53772653/54003840/Charter%20of%20CCWP-HR.pdf></a>
with the objectives of providing information, facilitating dialogue,
and making suggestions on ways to harmonize ICANN’s policies and
procedures with internationally recognized human rights standards,
among others.
Though the frequency of our mailing list may have dwindled as our
members dedicated their time and efforts to enhancing diversity,
transparency, and other rights-related considerations through Work
Stream 2 <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA"><https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA></a>, the relevance of
our Working Party has not diminished. Quite the contrary.
The new Human Rights Bylaw
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article1"><https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article1></a>,
a core value to “respect internationally recognized human rights as
required by applicable law,” will come into effect this year. Quoting
from the Bylaw’s Framework of Interpretation
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Documents?preview=/59641302/79437270/CCWG-Accountability-WS2-HumanRight-FinalReport-20171106%5B1%5D.pdf"><https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Documents?preview=/59641302/79437270/CCWG-Accountability-WS2-HumanRight-FinalReport-20171106%5B1%5D.pdf></a>
“it is up to each SO and AC, and ICANN the organization, to develop
their own policies and frameworks to fulfill this Core Value.”
Compliance must—and will—happen. ICANN org’s [1] ongoing HRIA is a
testament to their commitment to uphold this core value. Yet how this
compliance will materialize in SOs, ACs, and the other parts of the
ICANN remains to be seen.
As the only cross-community group mandated to provide information,
suggestions, and recommendations to chartering organizations regarding
human rights impacts and improvements, the CCWP-HR is uniquely
positioned to play an influential role in these discussions moving
forward. By extension, we—the members of the Working Party; an
informal gathering of people interested in the intersection of human
rights and ICANN—are also uniquely poised to help shape the
community’s Human Rights compliance mechanisms as they develop.
In case you remain unconvinced or uninspired by the challenge of
creating systems to uphold ICANN’s Human Rights Bylaw, there are
myriad other ways to contribute to the discussion. In the past,
members of the CCWP-HR have diagrammed ICANN Policies and Human Rights
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53772653/ICANN%20and%20Human%20Rights%20Jan2018.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1518025905000&api=v2"><https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53772653/ICANN%20and%20Human%20Rights%20Jan2018.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1518025905000&api=v2></a>,
documented potential human rights issues arising from gTLD subsequent
procedures
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53772653/4.CCWP-HR%20Jurisdiction.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1467180138000&api=v2"><https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53772653/4.CCWP-HR%20Jurisdiction.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1467180138000&api=v2></a>,
and designed an initial sketch
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hVA3lj6NrZLBV9CbH1SwNMt-enygaDR_t2N5c8wDW8I/edit?usp=sharing"><https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hVA3lj6NrZLBV9CbH1SwNMt-enygaDR_t2N5c8wDW8I/edit?usp=sharing></a> for
incorporating human rights impact assessments into policy development
processes.
Ongoing research in the CCWP-HR seeks to flesh out the effects of
current policy development procedures on particular rights (presented
at last meeting, see below). Getting involved in this project may be
of interest to newcomers in particular, as it offers an opportunity to
become more familiar with ICANN procedures while contributing to
scholarship in the field human rights and Internet governance.
Charting the decision-making processes of SOs and ACs, tracking the
effectiveness of remedy and due process measures, or further exploring
language rights in the ICANN context have all been floated as
potential avenues for future research.
Thought guided by its charter, the CCWP-HR is driven by its members;
that is, /your/ interests, expertise, and experience. Meetings are
important, but inter-sessional work shouldn’t be overlooked—lest the
plurality of our Working Party be reduced to a precious few voices.
Got an idea for a paper? *Float it on the list. *
Have a doubt about operationalizing the Human Rights Bylaw in ASO, or
ALAC, or other? *Flag it on the list.*
Is a half-baked idea taking shape, but not ready to share? *Ping your
co-chairs*—we're here to support you.
Looking forward,
Collin Kurre

[1] For newcomers, the distinction I am referencing here is between
“ICANN org,” the nonprofit organization incorporated in California and
responsible for /coordinating/ the maintenance of the DNS, as opposed
to the “ICANN community,” the multistakeholder supporting
organizations and advisory committees that define how the DNS is
managed through consensus-driven policymaking processes.
