[Ws2-hr] Proposed Agenda for call September 13 1900 UTC

[Aikman-Scalese, Anne]

Having said that Human Rights FOI could be introduced in the Subsequent Procedures PDP currently underway but might happen faster via its own Expedited PDP.  This is only important if you want to bind registries.   Please note that ICANN applicable law in this regard does not automatically apply to registries.

Dear all,
I hope that everyone understands that no provision re Human Rights can be added to a Registry Contract unless developed via Consensus Policy.  Consensus Policy is a strictly defined term.  (These are the only provisions which may be added unilaterally by ICANN.)  Further, the ONLY method of developing Consensus Policy is pursuant to  either a full Policy Development Process or else an Expedited Policy Development Process.

So if you think you can adopt a Ruggie principle of ICANN addressing Human Rights in all its business relationships, you must also apply the Ruggie 18 b principle and understand that NO REGISTRY IS BOUND BY ANYTHING OTHER THAN CONSENSUS POLICY  (and applicable law of the jurisdiction where the Registry is based.)

Anne
