<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear colleagues,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">ICANN Org has published
the Human Rights Impact Assessment carried out on its
operations. Find the announcement and link to the report here: </font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica,

<br>
</span></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I personally find the
formatting of the report to be rather confusing. At first read,
I would have liked to see additional focus on the methodology
and substance of the assessment itself. An explanation about how
impacts were measured and prioritized would have been good,
along with additional details about the "Impact Assessment
Frameworks" developed for each of the four assessment areas
(Human Resources, Event Planning, Procurement, and Security
Operations). <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Please share any
additional thoughts or questions you may have and I will relay
them to ICANN Staff and Löning, the assessment practitioner. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">On a related note, for
those of you who missed the CCWP-HR call yesterday, new guidance
has been produced about how to complete our PDP Human Rights
Impact Assessment tool. [0] It can be found attached to this
email as a PDF, or in the second tab of the Sub Pros trial HRIA:

</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">As always, feel free to
leave comments or make any updates or modifications as you see
fit. Akriti and I are working on the final report of this first
trial run, and will be in touch shortly about the next
assessments. Let us know if you'd like to get involved in this
work — particularly if you're already engaging in PDPs!<br>
