by Patrik Fältström 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being. Patrik Fältström Head of Research and Development Netnod Begin forwarded message: > From: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > Subject: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors > Date: 17 juni 2013 18:23:09 CEST > To: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > > We are pleased to announce the publication of the European Commission Sector Guides on Implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. > > > Download the Guides here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=6711&lang… > > The Guides – for employment and recruitment agencies, ICT companies, and oil and gas companies – were developed over the past 18 months by Shift and IHRB through extensive research and multistakeholder consultation with representatives from the three industries as well as governments, trade unions, civil society, academia and other experts. Read more about the Guides’ development here. > > Each Guide offers practical advice on how to implement the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in day-to-day business operations in each industry through step-by-step guidance. At each step, they summarise what the UN Guiding Principles expect, offer a range of approaches and examples for how to put them into practice, and link users to additional resources that can support their work. They are intended to help companies “translate” respect for human rights into their own systems and cultures. > > Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this process. > > Best regards, > > > CSR Team > > European Commission > Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General > Unit ENTR.D.1 >

The RIPE Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) work
by Nurani Nimpuno 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 69, at the beginning of November 2014, the RIPE community selected three representatives (two community members and one RIPE NCC staff member) to participate in the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team. The RIPE CRISP team members are: - Andrei Robachevsky (Internet Society) - Nurani Nimpuno (Netnod) - Paul Rendek (RIPE NCC staff) The CRISP team is tasked with preparing a common proposal on behalf of the global numbering community for stewardship of the IANA functions. This proposal is to be passed to the IANA Stewardship Coordination Group (ICG), which has asked that proposals from the three affected communities be formatted around a Request for Proposals (RFP) template produced by the ICG. The members of the CRISP team selected by the RIPE community will work with CRISP team representatives from the other regions to develop this RFP. Their work will be guided by the principles agreed by the RIPE community (see below) and they will ensure that the community remains informed as to the progress and direction of discussions in the CRISP team. Communication to the RIPE community will be via the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list. The principles agreed by the RIPE community, as understood (and updated) by the RIPE CRISP team members, are: - The RIPE community asks its selected CRISP team representatives to work with the other RIRs to produce a common proposal for a legally binding agreement (such as a Service Level Agreement) between ICANN and the RIRs to replace the Internet number-related elements of the ICANN-NTIA agreement. - This proposal should meet the requirements of the Request For Proposals (RFP) produced by the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG). - The proposal should bring the provisions of the agreement related to the services and service levels up-to-date with current requirements where necessary. - This work should be coordinated with the other users of the IANA function as much as practical, with the aim of producing a proposed arrangement that is compatible with the proposed arrangements of the other IANA users. - The RIPE community asks its CRISP team representatives to keep it informed about progress and content of the proposal. - The RIPE community asks the CRISP team to complete the proposal and to submit it to the ICG before 15 January 2015. The RIPE CRISP team have also identified what we see as an additional principle, not currently made explicit: - Changes to the policy-making structures or processes relating to the IANA registries are not within the scope of the IANA stewardship discussion. At this stage, we (as RIPE CRISP team members) would appreciate any feedback from the community on these principles. The timeline for the CRISP team’s work is very aggressive, and we plan to provide regular updates to this working group, both on the substance of the proposal being developed, the text under discussion and the CRISP team's timeline and processes (including information about public teleconferences). Best regards, Nurani Nimpuno on behalf of the RIPE CRISP team

RIPE NCC and EuroDIG: Open Call for Input [Deadline 31 December]
by Chris Buckridge 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, EuroDIG, the European Dialogue on Internet Governance, is an open forum that meets annually to discuss Internet governance issues of relevance to Internet stakeholders in Europe. EuroDIG 2015 will take place from 4-5 June 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria. What issues do you think should be on the agenda? There is currently an open call for input on topics and issues to be considered in the EuroDIG 2015 programme: http://www.eurodig.org/get-involved/call-for-proposals/ This open call will close on 31 December 2014, and all input received will be considered shaping the agenda of the 2015 event. The planning process will include an opportunity for online community evaluation of the input received and an open planning meeting to take place in Sofia in January 2015. The RIPE NCC recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to serve as a EuroDIG institutional partner for the next three years, contributing with other institutional partners to the event’s planning and coordination. The RIPE NCC’s goal in this role is to help ensure a strong Internet technical community presence in European Internet governance discussions, providing expert technical input and placing governance issues relevant to the technical community on the EuroDIG agenda. RIPE community members are invited to take an active role in contributing to EuroDIG and its planning process - even if you are not able to attend the event in June, this open call is an important opportunity to help shape the European Internet governance agenda. Best regards, Chris Buckridge Senior External Relations Officer, RIPE NCC

Proposed Charter for Enhancing ICANN Accountability Cross Community Working Group (CCWG)
by Athina Fragkouli 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, Following my presentation to the Cooperation Working Group last Thursday, 6 November, on the process to enhance ICANN accountability, the Enhancing ICANN Accountability Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) has now published a Draft Charter: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/49359098/Enhancing%20ICANN… The Draft Charter includes, among other things, a problem statement, goals and objectives, scope, and proposed areas for work. It was developed by a Drafting Team made up of representatives from a range of ICANN Supporting Organizations (‭SO‬) and Advisory Committees (‭AC‬) : https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Drafting+Team+Membership Under the Draft Charter, the CCWG is expected to organise its activities into two Work Streams: Work Stream 1 is focused on mechanisms enhancing ‭ICANN‬ accountability that must be in place or committed to within the time frame of the ‭IANA‬ Stewardship Transition; and Work Stream 2 is focused on addressing accountability topics for which a timeline for developing solutions and full implementation may extend beyond the ‭IANA‬ Stewardship Transition. Each ‭ICANN‬ Supporting Organization (‭SO‬) and Advisory Committee (‭AC‬) will consider the proposed Draft Charter during their upcoming November meetings. Following the adoption of the charter, the relevant SOs and ACs will identify representatives to serve on the CCWG. In addition, a call for volunteers to join the CCWG will be launched, so that anyone interested in this effort may join and participate. The CCWG is expected to commence its deliberations in late November or early December. For your reference, here is the link to my presentation to the Cooperation Working Group last Thursday, 6 November: https://ripe69.ripe.net/archives/video/10069/ Best regards, Athina Fragkouli, RIPE NCC
