[Gnso-igo-ingo] Additional Information (Re: Recordings, attendance & AC Chat | Reconvened IGO-INGO Protections in all gTLDs PDP Working Group on Red Cross Names Call to Discuss Recommendations| Wednesday, 12 September 2018)

[Mary Wong]

Dear Chuck and everyone,

To follow up on Chuck’s request, the legal requirements for the formation and recognition of a National Society by the International Committee of the Red Cross are listed in Article 4 of the Statutes of the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement: https://www.icrc.org/eng/resources/documents/misc/6erk5h.htm (these were also summarized by the Red Cross representatives and discussed at the facilitated discussion held in Copenhagen, March 2017, during ICANN57: https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/transcript-gac-igo-rc-protection-1-11mar17-en.pdf).

Additional Information:
The International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies is the official representative of its member national societies, and it has specific rules of procedure governing the admittance of National Societies: https://media.ifrc.org/ifrc/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/02/02_IFRC-Rules-of-Procedures-FINAL-EN.pdf (see, in particular, Rule 2). Collectively, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies and the National Societies comprise the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement, which is governed by the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the Council of Delegates and the Standing Commission (https://www.icrc.org/eng/resources/documents/misc/components-movement.htm).

Overview of Working Group Deliberation Process:
At an early stage in its deliberations, the Reconvened PDP Working Group discussed the legal basis and public policy rationale for protecting the designations of the Red Cross National Societies and international movement; you can find the meeting records at https://community.icann.org/display/GWGTCT/2017+Meetings. The discussions included a review of the relevant parts of the prior PDP work and documents submitted for the March 2017 Copenhagen facilitated discussions and subsequently by the Red Cross. These discussions covered the scope of the Geneva Conventions and public policy rationale documented in GAC advice (for instance, at the 17 August 2017 meeting: https://community.icann.org/display/GWGTCT/2017-08-17+IGO+INGO+PDP+Working+Group+on+Red+Cross+names) and also included email follow ups; for instance, Stephane Hankin of the Red Cross specifically responded with additional comments on the legal and public policy basis for protection: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-igo-ingo/2017-September/000087.html.

The Reconvened PDP Working Group spent a significant portion of its 2018 meetings discussing a process for additions to the list of names (i.e. when a new National Society is formed and recognized) as well as corrections; and it also discussed criteria for determination of the common and usual names (variants) of the list of recognized National Societies submitted by the Red Cross; these meeting records can be reviewed at https://community.icann.org/display/GWGTCT/2018+Meetings. As Chuck noted, these discussions took into account the practical difficulty of having to convene a PDP to approve changes and corrections.

We hope this additional and more specific information is helpful.

Cheers
Mary & Berry

I just listened to the recording.

Without minimizing any of the other concerns discussed, I thought that Farzaneh’s concern regarding the process for adding names without a PDP was an important one.  I think Mary and Barry answered it at a high level, noting that there would have to be a lengthy international process before that could happen, but I wonder if it might be helpful to outline in brief bullet form what steps the international community and the GNSO would have to go through before a name could be added to the finite list.  I understand that it is all in the report, but it might be easier for everyone to grasp it if those steps were listed in a concise manner.

On the same topic, I would like to call attention to the WG recommended procedures for updating the finite list; in creating those procedures, the WG was fully cognizant of the time and effort required for a PDP to consider changes.  The NCSG has made it abundantly clear that they have limited resources that make it difficult to participate in all PDPs, so I would think that it would be beneficial to avoid PDPs when possible without compromising the bottom-up policy development process and I believe the recommendations sufficiently constrain the update process to accomplish that.

Finally, I confess to be the one who suggested maybe the GNSO should consider not allowing SGs to defer motions related to PDPs in which they did not actively participate.  First note that I did NOT suggest that such SGs should not be able to participate in the public comment process.  Second, let me say that part of the basis of that idea was to create an incentive for WG participation.  A WG setting is much better suited for a constructive discussion on policy concerns than the public comment process.

Chuck
