[Ws2-hr] Report to CCWG

[Paul McGrady]

Thanks Niels.  I would like for your summary to include notice that I have
consistently called for us to evaluate what human rights principles already
apply to ICANN as a result of applicable California law in order to get a
baseline to begin a gap analysis, but that the request has not been acted
upon by the group.  Thanks.

Best,
Paul

Subject: [Ws2-hr] Report to CCWG

Dear all,

I hope this email finds you well. Coming Friday is the deadline for me to
report to the CCWG Plenary on the progress of our Subgroup. I drafted the
text underneath. Your input is more than welcome before Friday, when I will
submit it to the CCWG co-chairs.

All your input is of course very much appreciated.

Best,

Niels

1. Executive Summary
The CCWG WS2 Human Rights Subgroup has documented the historical context of
the discussions on ICANNs human rights bylaw, which together with the CCWG
report (especially Annex 6 and 12) form it's scope of discussion, with a
Framework of Interpretation of the Human Rights Bylaw as intended output.
The subgroup is currently preparing a Framework of Interpretation which in
due time will be presented to the CCWG plenary for discussion.

2. Description of the Issue
2.1 Current State of Play
The CCWG WS2 Human Rights Subgroup started of with providing an overview of
the discussions and agreements as they were made during CCWG Workstream 1
[0]. Subsequently the Subgroup has analyzed the UN Guiding Principles on
Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), and their relevance and applicability for
ICANN. While there was consensus that some principles were relevant for the
development for a Framework of Interpretation (such as 13a and 15a), it was
also recognized that the UNGPs have not been designed with an organization
like ICANN in mind. Therefore a drafting team is currently iteratively
designing a draft Framework of Interpretation which is being discussed in
weekly calls. It is expected, that at this rate, the subgroup will be able
to achieve the set milestones.
