Thanks Marika and many thanks to Ephraim!  These forms look good.  My only
comment is that in each section in each of the forms asking whether there
will be an impact on Human Rights, there should be a link inserted to the
Framework of Interpretation for Human Rights(HR-FOI) that was adopted by
the Board.  The Framework should be very helpful in the preparation of the
Issue Report and also to the WG as it conducts the HR impact analysis on a
recommendation by recommendation basis as specified in the Charter
template.  (I understand that each Recommendation of the WG must be
accompanied by an HR impact analysis.  If that is not the case, please
advise by reply all.)

The link to the FOI is here:

https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-annex-3-hr-foi-final-recs-27mar18-en.pdf


So, for example, in the Working Group Charter template, we should insert
the language shown below in blue:
Thank you!
Anne
Impact on Human Rights
The WG is expected to consider the potential impact of any recommendations
on human rights as set forth in the ICANN Human Rights Framework of
Interpretation (HR-FOI) linked here:
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ccwg-acct-ws2-annex-3-hr-foi-final-recs-27mar18-en.pdf.
   Based
on the information included in the request for an Issue Report and the
Issue Report, the WG is
expected to further consider whether there is a likely human rights impact,
and if so, who are the
groups expected to be impacted and the expected severity of the impact
(high / medium / low). If an
impact is anticipated, the WG is expected to address the following
questions: 1) is the proposed action
necessary to achieve the desired outcome, 2) is the proposed action
proportionate, 3) is the proposed
action legitimate.
