Dear colleagues,<br class="">
<br class="">
First, a special welcome to our new members, from across
stakeholder groups and around the world. I look forward to working
with you!
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">I’m pleased to report that great progress was made
at ICANN63 in Barcelona. Some highlights:
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">- <b class="">WS2 recommendations have now
been approved by all Supporting Organizations and
Advisory Committees.</b> It's not yet clear what the
timeline for final approval by the Board is as far as I
know — please chime in if you have additional information.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- <b class="">Human Rights Impact Assessments
were a major topic in the NCSG’s meeting with the ICANN
Board</b> – <a href="https://livestream.com/icannmeeting/events/8416046/videos/182340946" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">video</a> (starts at
33:38) We also had a constructive exchange with Ergys and
Betsy from ICANN’s Public Responsibility team during our
CCWP-HR session, where we confirmed that both the
methodology and the unredacted results from the assessment
will be made public once it has wrapped up.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">-<b class=""> HRIAs also featured in ICANN
CEO Göran Marby’s opening remarks</b> during the
ICANN63 Welcome Ceremony, a clear indication of the
community’s success in putting human rights on the
agenda:</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: none;
padding: 0px;" class="">
<div class=""><i class="">“One thing I also want to
mention that is dear to my heart is that –
surprising to many of you — we have done something
that we’ve never done before; and that’s a human
rights assessment of ICANN org. It’s only ICANN org,
but what we’re doing right now is trying to measure
ourselves so that when we do things, we do them
according to the principles of human rights. We are
a technical organization, but by your instruction in
the community, we were performed to do this, and I’m
very proud that we’re working on it.“</i></div>

</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However — it’s very important to reiterate
that <font class="" color="#942192"><b class=""><i class="">ICANN’s HRIA d</i></b><i style="font-weight: bold;" class="">oes not cover DNS
policy, </i></font>which has obvious implications for
freedom of expression, privacy, and numerous other rights.
(Learn more in the <a href="https://icannhumanrights.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/ICANN-PDPs-and-Human-Rights-CCWP-HR-Sept-2018.pdf" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">CCWP-HR’s latest paper</a> on
human rights impacts of ongoing PDPs.) So where’s the HRIA
to assess the impacts of ICANN’s policies and ensure that
they live up to the Human Rights Bylaw? It’s up to us to
create it! A lot of new ideas about how to do this cropped
up in Barcelona — I’ll follow up on that in another email
in the coming days.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">On a more macro level, there are currently
many conversations underway within the GNSO and the
broader community about improving the efficiency and
effectiveness of consensus-based community policy
development processes. We touched on the subject of the
GNSO’s “PDP 3.0” as it may be articulated with the Human
Rights Bylaw in our <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Meeting+Notes" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">September</a> call, and
discussed the relationship between bottom-up consensus and
WS2 recommendations on diversity and transparency in
Barcelona. The evolution of ICANN’s multistakeholder
model, particularly as it relates to the new standards for
human rights, diversity, transparency, and accountability,
will be an important topic to keep track of as
conversations evolve.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To wrap up, I have an announcement: <b class="">we’re seeking a Co-Chair!</b> Please get in
touch if you are interested.</div>
<div class="">A big <b class=""><font class="" color="#942192">THANK YOU</font></b> to Michael
Karanicolas, who stepped down during our meeting in
Barcelona. We, and I, appreciate the contributions you
made over the past year and hope you’ll stick around. Your
expertise on transparency and open data are a real asset
to this community.</div>
