[Ws2-hr] [CCWG-ACCT] Notes, for WS2 HR. Text.

[Rudolph Daniel]

ReferenceText : ICANN should also consider ensuring that it does not
violate human rights in its operations.  ICANN might consider instruments
such as HRIA to carry out a preliminary assessment of the effect of its
operations, however, this is up to the ICANN corporation to decide and
implement. The results of such IAs should be incorporated in ICANN’s annual
reporting.

My thoughts on reading the above:

Icann's operations policies are not subject to a policy development process
( PDP ), but community input is generally sought via public comment.  If
the SO s were to consider implementation of HRIA at the PDP level, maybe
the ICANN Board should consider assessment and oversight of HRIA on its
policies at the 'Process and Systems risk Committee'  level.

This board committee is currently responsible for the establishment and
implementation of standards, controls, limits and guidelines related to
risk assessment and risk management, including but not limited to
financial, legal and operational risks and other risks concerning ICANN’s
reputation and ethical standards.

Therefore, respect for human Rights, becomes weaved into ICANN 's
reputation and ethical standards and as it relates to the public interest.
Such a move however would probably require board consideration of a HRIA
appointment to the 'Process and Systems risk committee' & other
implications not yet apparent.
