Anne — I think David is making a distinction between how ICANN (the corporation) implements its HR policies in its operations and compliance, versus how gNSO and ccNSO consider HR in their development of policies.

Is that right, David?   If so, this could clarify the current discussion.

Hi David,

I still think that if ICANN org is going to adopt a "framework" to assess its impact on Human Rights, it has to go to the SOs and ACs before doing so in order to respect their role in the policy-making process.  Again, this is in the Considerations document already and it specifically refers to adoption of a "framework" so we don't want to say it is up to ICANN the organisation to make that choice of "framework" unless we mean that ICANN org must consult with SOs and ACs first.  Is that what we mean?

As part of the drafting team recruited yesterday during the call, I would like to suggest text to consider (BTW – I don’t think there is a separate “drafting team” email list for this discrete effort).

BACKGROUND:

Here is text as proposed by Niels prior to our call yesterday (the original text is in his email forwarded below):

3.1 When examining its operations, ICANN the organization could consider using a framework like the UNGPs as well as specific instruments such as HRIAs to assess its impact on Human Rights, and offer remediation.

However, it is up to ICANN the organization to decide the most appropriate framework and instrument to do this. The results of ICANN the organization's analysis should be reflected in ICANN’s annual reporting.

I suggested a different text on list yesterday but I have tweaked it in my latest suggested text below to take account of two points Kavouss made on list.

First, I use the word “mechanism” instead of “framework” and I add a reference to voluntary remediation, agreeing with Kavouss to attempt to address comments by several country reps to the group.

MY LATEST SUGGESTED TEXT:

3.1 When examining its operations, ICANN the organization could consider using a mechanism like the UNGPs as well as specific instruments such as HRIAs to assess its impact on Human Rights. It could also consider, in appropriate cases, voluntary remediation efforts. However, it is up to ICANN the organization to decide whether to do so, and if so how (i.e., choosing the most appropriate framework, instrument, or remediation effort). The results of ICANN the organization's analysis should be reflected in ICANN’s annual reporting.

Best regards,

David

Hi all,

Original text:

When examining its operations, ICANN the organization could also consider instruments such as HRIAs to assess their impact on Human Rights.  However, this is up to ICANN the organization to develop and implement. The results of such HRIAs should be reflected in ICANN’s annual reporting.

Text proposed by me on the call:

When examining its operations, ICANN the organization could consider using a framework like the UNGPs as well as specific instruments such as HRIAs to assess its impact on Human Rights, and offer remediation.

However, it is up to ICANN the organization to decide the most appropriate framework and instrument to do this. The results of ICANN the organization's analysis should be reflected in ICANN’s annual reporting.

I am greatly looking forward to the suggestion of the drafting team.

Best,

Niels
