    <p>Greg,</p>
    <p>I think the whole discussion on the "content regulation" (whether
      we define it or not here) reflects the concerns about
      "enforcement" and "protection".</p>
    <p>While we can abandon the use of the term "content regulation" for
      the sake of avoiding the maze of rabbit holes, the enforcement and
      protection issues will be on the table anyway, and they will refer
      to the TLD issues as well. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Fortunately, we have restrictions in the mission re content
      regulation and in the HR bylaw re enforcement and protection. I
      think that is enough to save ICANN from the content regulation
      (whatever it means!). But we have to figure out where is the
      silver line between "respect" and the no-go Human Rights watchdog
      actions. I think the expression "content regulation" is used here
      as it reflect the concerns that ICANN will step into this area of
      enforcement.</p>
    <p>Best,</p>

                &gt; Regarding "address human rights impacts with which
                they are involved", I am quite stuck on the issue of
                "content regulation" when ICANN awards a TLD contract. 
                For example, a registry operator applies in the next
                round for "(dot)buychildporn".  I personally think there
                is a human rights issue here in which ICANN is directly
                involved within the scope of its mission and operations.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; What about a TLD application for
                (dot)legalizeslavery.    ICANN is very directly involved
                in the award of TLDs.  It signs contracts and determines
                when those contracts are renewed or revoked.  Very
                difficult indeed to see how anyone could say that ICANN
                would not be obligated, by this definition of "respect"
                to review potential adverse human rights impact of a TLD
                application.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; No advisory or policy recommending body in the
                ICANN Community currently has responsibility to review
                Human Rights impact in the applications for new TLDs. 
                There is no mechanism for doing so and arguably the
                implications for free speech are quite broad if we start
                saying that certain proposed purposes for certain TLDs
                (as shown in the application relevant application) have
                adverse human rights impacts.    Will we now place this
                responsibility on the GAC as a public policy matter? 
                What if GNSO disagrees and prefers to uphold freedom of
                expression even if the expression is ugly and has an
                adverse impact on Human Rights?<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; So it appears we may not be able to deal with this
                within the community without establishing a Human Rights
                Objection process - but again what about the free speech
                aspects of this?  Is a Human Rights Objection process in
                and of itself a content regulation provision?<br>

                human rights?<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; Whilst I (think I) see where you are heading, Greg
                - and I tend to agree, although I’m not sure what
                ’seeking to prevent or mitigate’ exactly means in terms
                of exerting pressure on third parties - the ‘resurfacing
                those comments’ could be helpful as I am slightly lost
                here.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; The way I read Ruggie’s definition of ‘respect’ is
                what is stated in principle #11:<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; 'Business enterprises should respect human rights.
                This means that they should avoid infringing on the
                human rights of others and should address adverse human
                rights impacts with which they are involved.’<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; It’s the ’this means’ part.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; (‘Part (b)’ in principle 13 refers to part of a
                ‘responsibility’ that follows, i.e. the requirement as
                described in this ‘part (b)’)<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; Simply put, following my interpretation of Ruggie’s
                ‘respect’ definition, ICANN should avoid infringing on
                the human rights of others. And it does not have to
                address adverse human rights impacts with which it is
                not involved.<br>
                &gt;<br>
                &gt; Does that make sense? ;-)<br>

                &gt;&gt; 3.  It was not the intention of the CCWG to
                adopt the Ruggie Principles' definition of "respect."<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; 4.  It's up to this group, initially, to
                consider what we mean by "respect" in the context of
                ICANN and human rights (and our recommendations will
                then go back to the CCWG and out for public comment,
                etc.).<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; 5.  If we do not recommend that the Ruggie
                Principles' definition of "respect" be adopted in its
                entirety, we will either:<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt;      a. End up with a definition of "respect"
                that varies from the<br>
                &gt;&gt; Ruggie Principles, or<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt;      b. Need to recommend an amendment of the
                Bylaws to change the word "respect" to a word or phrase
                that is not a "term of art" in the application of human
                rights, and we will need to recommend an appropriate
                word or phrase for that purpose.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; 6.  Picking up on Nigel's last point, we will
                need to understand and explain "respect/protect/enforce"
                and explain that our recommendation for what ICANN
                should do does not fall into any of those three defined
                terms as they are used in the Ruggie Principles. 
                Frankly, we need to do this sooner rather than later, as
                it is really an essential part of our task, and this
                discussion highlights how careful we need to be in
                choosing certain words in our discussion as well as our
                recommendations.<br>

                &gt;&gt; It may be tempting for ICANN to create our own

                &gt;&gt; A few quick comments on the thread above.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; It is important that we be precise with our
                verbs.  The Ruggie<br>
                &gt;&gt; Principles use three verbs, each with different
                meanings and with<br>
                &gt;&gt; application to different actors: "respect,"
                "protect" and "enforce."<br>
                &gt;&gt;   I'm not suggesting we should adopt the Ruggie
                Principles' meanings<br>
                &gt;&gt; for all of these words, but they could be
                useful as a starting point.<br>
                &gt;&gt; As a matter of fact, I don't think we can or
                should adopt the Ruggie<br>
                &gt;&gt; Principles' definition of "respect" in the
                ICANN context.  But we<br>
                &gt;&gt; should be careful about how we use these words,
                and how we use other verbs.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; As was already noted, "uphold" is a whole new
                verb, with no standard<br>
                &gt;&gt; meaning in the human rights context that I'm
                aware of.  "Enforce" was<br>
                &gt;&gt; also used in this thread, but in a very
                different context than in the<br>
                &gt;&gt; Ruggie Principles, where "enforcement" applies
                only to the activities<br>
                &gt;&gt; of states.  We need to determine what we mean
                by each verb we use, and<br>
                &gt;&gt; especially by "respect" since it appears in the
                Bylaw.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; I believe that Niels quoted from the Ruggie
                Principles definition of<br>
                &gt;&gt; respect earlier in this thread when he referred
                to the draft FoI<br>
                &gt;&gt; document.  I believe Paul Twomey in particular
                has pointed out the<br>
                &gt;&gt; significant issues that could arise if ICANN
                were to adopt part (b) of<br>
                &gt;&gt; this definition:<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; (b) Seek to prevent or mitigate adverse human
                rights impacts that are<br>
                &gt;&gt; directly linked to their operations, products
                or services by their<br>
                &gt;&gt; business relationships, even if they have not
                contributed to those impacts.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; As I understand this, it requires a party to
                exert pressure, through<br>
                &gt;&gt; business relationships, on third parties.   I
                don't think it's at all<br>
                &gt;&gt; settled that ICANN's relationships with
                applicants, registries and<br>
                &gt;&gt; registrars are "business relationships," even
                where these parties have<br>
                &gt;&gt; contracts with ICANN.  But if some or all of
                these are "business<br>
                &gt;&gt; relationships," this could easily be read to
                require ICANN to impose<br>
                &gt;&gt; restrictions on registries and registrars, and
                on applicants, that<br>
                &gt;&gt; would be extremely broad-ranging and may we be
                antithetical to ICANN's mission.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt; I generally agree with John Curran regarding
                application concerns in<br>
                &gt;&gt; the implementation phase.  Once the ICANN
                policy process has resulted<br>
                &gt;&gt; in recommendations which are adopted, the
                primary focus in<br>
                &gt;&gt; implementation needs to be faithfully carrying
                out the policy<br>
                &gt;&gt; recommendations. It's fair to assume that human
                rights have been taken<br>
                &gt;&gt; into account in the policy development process,
                along with and<br>
                &gt;&gt; balanced against other rights and concerns, and
                that what results from<br>
                &gt;&gt; the multistakeholder process should be given
                effect in implementation.<br>

                &gt;&gt;     contracting with<br>
                &gt;&gt;     ICANN/PTI for IANA services would result in
                an HR impact, then the<br>
                &gt;&gt;     above<br>
                &gt;&gt;     proposed responsibility (to prevent or

                &gt;&gt;     that ICANN<br>
                &gt;&gt;     should to do otherwise.<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt;     Note that the event of ICANN/PTI acting
                contrary to the clear<br>
                &gt;&gt;     direction of one of<br>
                &gt;&gt;     the respective communities (names, numbers,

                &gt;&gt;     registry updates could easily precipitate a

                &gt;&gt;     the end of ICANN,<br>
                &gt;&gt;     and thus should probably be avoided...<br>
                &gt;&gt;<br>
                &gt;&gt;     ICANN (including PTI) needs to place the
                highest priority upon<br>
                &gt;&gt;     fidelity to the<br>
                &gt;&gt;     outcomes of the multi-stakeholder process,
                since its existence is<br>
                &gt;&gt;     predicated<br>
                &gt;&gt;     (particularly in a post-NTIA contract
                environment) upon the<br>
                &gt;&gt;     presupposition<br>
                &gt;&gt;     of the validity of that process.  This is
                also the reason why I<br>
