FYI: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors
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.

CCWG Report - Deadline for comments on 3 June 23:59 UTC
by Athina Fragkouli 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, This is a reminder that the CCWG-Accountability is seeking public comments until tomorrow, 3 June, 23:59 UTC. The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG-Accountability) has published a Draft Report that contains its initial Draft Proposal. The Draft Report can be found here: CCWG-Accountability Draft Report (without annexes): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-propos… [PDF, 1.72 MB] CCWG-Accountability Draft Report (with annexes): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-propos… [PDF, 2.05 MB] This initial Draft Proposal is focused on draft Work Stream 1 recommendations. Work Stream 1 relates to those changes to ICANN’s accountability arrangements that must be in place, or committed to, prior to the IANA stewardship transition. More information can be found here: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-accountability-draft-proposal-20… The Cross Community Working Group on Enhancing ICANN Accountability (CCWG) has published a Draft Report that contains its initial Draft Proposal. The Draft Report can be found here: CCWG-Accountability Draft Report (without annexes): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-propos… [PDF, 1.72 MB] CCWG-Accountability Draft Report (with annexes): https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/cwg-accountability-draft-propos… [PDF, 2.05 MB] The ASO representatives to the CCWG encourage the numbers community to review and give feedback on any specific points in the Draft Report, and reply to the questions listed in the document. At the same time we would like to draw the numbers community’s attention to the following matters, as we believe that they are of interest to the numbers community and we would appreciate the community's feedback: 1. Revised Mission The CCWG suggests clarifications on the description of ICANN’s mission (more details in section 3.1 of the Draft Report). During the drafting process the ASO representatives provided a tentative description of ICANN’s mission in regard to the coordination of policy development for Internet number resources (page 20, paragraph 57). The tentative description reads as follows: “In this role, with respect to IP addresses and AS numbers, ICANN’s Mission is described in the ASO MoU between ICANN and RIRs.” Do you feel that this description is accurate? 2. Revised Commitments and Core Values The CCWG proposes an amendment to one of the core values of the Bylaws (page 25, paragraph 89). The proposed amendment reads as follows: “Employ open, transparent and bottom-up, [private sector led multistakeholder] policy development processes that (i) seeks input from the public, for whose benefit ICANN shall in all events act, (ii) promote well- informed decisions based on expert advice, and (iii) ensure that those entities most affected can assist in the policy development process;” Given that the RIR global policies are described as open, transparent and bottom-up, the ASO representatives have a concern on the inclusion of the notion of “private sector led multistakeholder”, which is put in square brackets. The addition of this notion may lead to uncertainty on whether ICANN’s core values include the employment of RIR global policies. Do you agree with the removal of the notion “private sector led multistakeholder”? 3. US Headquarters as part of the Fundamental Bylaws The CCWG incorporated some provisions from the Affirmation of Commitments relevant to ICANN accountability into the Bylaws (in particular regarding ICANN’s Mission and Core Values). The CCWG has suggested defining these provisions as "Fundamental Bylaws". The concept of Fundamental Bylaws is described in section 3.2 (pp 27-31) of the Draft Report. The main difference with the common Bylaws provisions is that while the Board could propose a change to this Bylaws provision, SO/ACs could block the proposed change (by a 75% vote). On the other hand any change to Fundamental Bylaws would require approval by SO/ACs (75% vote). One of these provisions requires that ICANN “remains headquartered in the United States of America”. The CCWG noted that this provision exists already in current ICANN Bylaws, at Article XVIII Section 1: “OFFICES. The principal office for the transaction of the business of ICANN shall be in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. ICANN may also have an additional office or offices within or outside the United States of America as it may from time to time establish.” As the rest of Affirmation of Commitments provisions are suggested to be incorporated in the Fundamental Bylaws, the CCWG considered whether this provision should also be listed as a Fundamental Bylaw. The comment by the ASO Representatives was that while the rest of the Affirmation of Commitments provisions incorporated can indeed be seen as fundamental principles, the notion of US Headquarters is an administrative issue, which would not be considered as fundamental. Do you agree with the ASO representatives approach? 4. Appealing Mechanisms The CCWG has proposed enhancements to the two appealing mechanisms described in ICANN Bylaws, i.e. the Independent Review Panel and the Reconsideration process. The ASO representatives commented that, even though the ICANN Board approves its global policies, the processes and forums for bottom-up policy development relating to number resources is outside of ICANN, and there are separate appealing procedures for disputes relating to Internet number resources. In particular there is: 1. an arbitration process described in the ASO MoU for disputes relevant to the Global Policy development process 2. an arbitration process described in the draft Service Level Agreement between the five RIRs and IANA Numbering Services Operator for disputes relevant to the IANA numbering services. 3. A bottom-up process for any concerns that a third party may have relating to Internet number resources issues. Additionally the ASO representatives noted that it was requested by the CWG that decisions regarding ccTLD delegations or revocations would be excluded from standing, until relevant appeal mechanisms have been developed by the ccTLD community, in coordination with other parties. Considering the above, the ASO representatives would propose that any appeal mechanism developed by the CCWG should not cover disputes relating to Internet number resources. 5. Powers The CCWG suggested that the following powers would ensure community empowerment: - Reconsider/reject budget or strategy/operating plans (section 5.2 of the Draft Report, pp 47-48). We would like to note that this power was listed as one of the expected accountability mechanisms by the CWG. - Reconsider/reject changes to ICANN Standard Bylaws (section 5.3 of the Draft Report pp 48-49) - Approve changes to Fundamental Bylaws (section 5.4 of the Draft Report pp 49-50) - Remove individual ICANN Directors (section 5.5 of the Draft Report pp 50-52) - Recall the entire ICANN Board (section 5.6 of the Draft Report pp 52- 53) These powers would be exercised by changing ICANN’s structure into a membership-based organisation, of which the SO/ACs would be the members. Details of this structure can be found in section 5.1.1 of the proposal (pp 42-45). Do you have any concerns or comments on any of these powers or the suggested structure? Thank you, Athina Fragkouli ASO representative to the CCWG-Accountability

Report on the WSIS Forum 2015
by Chris Buckridge 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Dear colleagues, More than 1,500 people gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, from 25-29 May for the tenth annual WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society) Forum. Organised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the agenda of the WSIS Forum is a mix of policy statements from ITU Member States and other Internet-related organisations (including ICANN and the Internet Society), and workshops on specific issues such as cybersecurity, capacity building and the IANA stewardship transition. RIPE NCC Executive Board member Salam Yamout took part as a panelist in a session on "Fostering Open Access to International Fiber”: http://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2015/Agenda/Session/214 The event also provided opportunities to discuss the upcoming WSIS+10 review, which will be primarily an inter-governmental process looking back at progress made on achieving the goals of the original WSIS events in 2003 and 2005. Webcast archives of all WSIS Forum sessions are available at: http://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2015/Agenda/Webcast/Archive IANA Stewardship at WSIS Forum 2015 The agenda included a panel session, "IANA Stewardship Transition – A Live Example of a Multistakeholder Process", which focused on the processes involved in developing a proposal for future stewardship of the IANA functions: http://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2015/Agenda/Session/269 The panel included representatives of the three IANA "affected communities" (names, numbers and protocol parameters), along with speakers from business, academia/civil society and government. While some governments noted that participation in these kinds of processes is still challenging, there was general agreement that the IANA stewardship transition represents an important example of the multistakeholder model being applied to global policy decision-making. Looking Ahead to WSIS+10 Many of the governments and organisations that delivered policy statements during the WSIS Forum noted the upcoming WSIS+10 review, which will culminate in a two-day High Level Meeting of the General Assembly this December. The process (or "modalities") leading up to this meeting are still being determined, as are the likely outcomes, though the preparation process will kick off in earnest during the week of 8-12 June, with an Expert Group Meeting on “Advancing a Sustainable Information Society for All”, followed by two days of intergovernmental discussions: http://unpan3.un.org/wsis10/ The focus of many participants at the WSIS Forum was the importance of highlighting the WSIS commitment to and focus on development, with some even suggesting moves to explicitly link the WSIS Action Lines (developed as part of the 2003-2005 process) to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will replace the Millennium Development Goals (which expire shortly) and shape the UN's global development efforts. The ITU has published a matrix detailing possible linkages between the specific WSIS Action Lines and SDGs: http://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/sdg/Content/wsis-sdg_matrix_document.pdf Others noted, however, that such linkages are unlikely, as the SDGs themselves are in the final stages of a multi-year negotiation process. Alongside the official WSIS Forum programme, several technical, civil society and academic organisations organised an informational WSIS+10 lunch during the week, which highlighted the importance of coordination and information sharing between all stakeholders involved, particularly given the uncertainties still surrounding the process. More information on the lunch is available at: http://www.diplomacy.edu/calendar/way-forward-wsis10-review-process If you have any questions or comments about the WSIS Forum or the ongoing WSIS+10 preparations, please feel free reply to this email or to raise them here on the RIPE Cooperation Working Group mailing list. Best regards, Chris Buckridge Senior External Relations Officer RIPE NCC
