Anne -
I believe that we should (at a minimum) seek to improve ICANN’s policy development
and implementation activities with respect to potential HR issues by:
1) Clearly defining what HR Convention(s) that will be considered applicable to its activities,
2) Provide a straightforward method for any party to raise a concern during the policy
development process or during any ICANN consultation (to cover operational matters)
that the intended policy or process would pose a threat to one or more human rights
contained within the agreed list of HR Conventions, and
3) that raising such Human Right concern would in turn require that the final policy or
process outcome be amended to directly acknowledge the raised concern and either
include appropriate changes or provide a clear explanation of why the concern is either
not relevant or is deemed a reasonable balance in light of ICANN’s overall obligations.
If we do that (and do it well) we will have created an FOI-HR framework that it is both useful
and yet operating fully within ICANN’s existing mission and mandate.
/John
p.s. my views alone - apologies to the electrons who labored to carry these thoughts all
over the planet.

Does an HR PIC complaint and ICANN’s subsequent determination of whether such HR PIC is being met by the registry put it in the content regulation business?

> I do not understand why you object to even discussing the issue of how FOI – HR relates to the Policy Development Process and GAC Policy Advice. If everyone is content to know that the FOI-HR will not apply to any Registry contract prior to development of Consensus Policy via a PDP or Expedited PDP, then that is quite alright with me. I am just pointing out that this is the path we are heading down.

If we do so early on, then a “go-ahead” from the Chartering Organizations will be much easier to obtain later.

> As was pointed out by someone else on the call, we also need to make a recommendation – in the Framework – as to whether or not it may serve as a basis for a Request for Reconsideration or an IRP, which is certainly implied by the drafting in the new By-Laws. Again, I think it would be wiser to obtain GAC public policy advice and GNSO Guidance on this point now rather than later (when we think our work is done.)

> 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.)
