Maryam Bakoshi:
Yes Tatiana
YesTatiana is on the line
Marilia Maciel:Avri? Matt? :)
matthew shears:
I think
Ithink that the accountabillity proposal is also asking for input from commenters on the issue of human rights in the bylaws in parallel
Megan Richards, European Commission:
this is
thisis what the report seems to say but perhaps this is evolving: •Work plan for Work Stream 2 to: oEnhance diversity and the culture of transparency within ICANNoFurther address concerns about community accountability. The 2nd Draft Report includes a recommendation for regular structural reviews of SOs and ACs to assess their accountability towards their participants as well as towards the stakeholders they are designed to represent.oElaborate on a Commitment to human rights in the ICANN Bylaws.•Details on an implementation plan for Work Stream 1, including a Bylaws drafting process.
Megan Richards, European Commission:sorry- wrong cut and paste !! apologies
matthew shears:
in terms of
intermsof strategy it will be important for a number of diverse entities to input on this
in the publoc consultation - the comment revirew process does
inthepublocconsultation- thecommentrevirewprocessdoes not weight the inputs so more inputs on
issues of concernsuch as HR
issuesofconcernsuchasHR is important
Avri Doria:
i plan to
iplanto put in my own comment on the issue.
Avri Doria:
both HR related
bothHRrelated and other.
matthewshears:+ 1
matthewshears:
I think we
Ithinkwe have to leave a lot of this to WS2. If we start to get into the detail the bylaw may get very long and cumbersome
Tatiana Tropina:
I think it
Ithinkit is better to avoid detailing bylaws in order to avoid long legal debates which can get us to nowhere and delay the changes we want
matthew shears:yep
Tatiana Tropina:*again I don't know how far this discussion went before, may be I am just repeating what has already been discussed many times
Megan Richards, European Commission:
perhaps its a
perhapsitsa problem with the mike -
in a nutshell I agree with marilia's comment
inanutshellIagree withmarilia'scomment
Maryam Bakoshi:
Hi Megan
HiMegan, please could you provide your number for dial out
Amr Elsadr:@Matt: RE: HRs in WS2, that sounds logical to me, so +1. For now, some form of commitment from the CCWG to include HR issues in WS2 wouldn't be such a bad thing though.
Megan Richards, European Commission:
My number is
Mynumberis +322 2962443
but marilia said
butmariliasaid exactly what I was going to say -
Avri Doria:The Corporation shall operate for the benefit of the Internet community as a whole, carrying out its activities in conformity with relevant principles of international law and applicable international conventions and local law and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with these Articles and its Bylaws, through open and transparent processes that enable competition and open entry in Internet-related markets. To this effect, the Corporation shall cooperate as appropriate with relevant international organizations
matthew shears:
shame we can
shamewecan't just asterisk the bylaw above after the word conventions and add if need be UDHR and ICCPR
Tatiana Tropina:@Matthew, it's articles of incorporation I think :)
matthew shears:thanks
Megan Richards, European Commission:
the articles of
thearticlesof incorporation cover all
Avri Doria:... coverl all that are relevant ... applicable ... and to the extent apprpproprote consistent with the bylaws.
TatianaTropina:Yes, in a general way
Megan Richards, European Commission:
the Articles
theArticles take precedence over the bylaws - the bylaws can limit the application or clarify the specific provisions
Tatiana Tropina:+1 to Megan. I see any changes made to bylaws as clarification of this general commitment
Megan Richards, European Commission:
ICANN has agreed
ICANNhasagreed to apply the applicable and relevant provisions by virtue of the provisions of its ARticles of incorporation - public international law and its application is a separate issue and not what we should be discussing here
matthew shears:agree with simple
matthewshears:agreewithsimple phrasing for bylaws
Avri Doria:
those are not
thosearenot my concerns, as much as the concerns
of tothers. i support the
oftothers. isupportthe most general language.
Tatiana Tropina:
I actually don
Iactuallydon't see any way to
make other than simple wording of

Megan Richards, European Commission:

amrespondingin the chat then
Megan Richards, European Commission:
we should ensure
weshouldensure that the work is not duplicating that done in GAC
HR wg and
HRwgand other fora
matthew shears:
good point
goodpoint- have the GAC discussions evolved since the meeting in BA?
Megan Richards, European Commission:
not yet but
notyetbut would be a pity if the various groups were to either duplicate or heavens forbid contradict that of each other
Avri Doria:Isn'

rafik:@Niels it is a working document for CCWP to continue the discussion, expecting the CCWP to produce its first delvierable
Niels ten Oever - Article19:Indeed, so we need
to agree on a approval procedure

rafik:
I would see

Niels ten Oever - Article19:let's discuss this under the next point
Pranesh Prakash:
If we don't make
Ifwedon'tmake a strong defence of HR, who will? :-) Having said that I don't think there's a need to establish a duty to protect on ICANN's part.
Marianne F:
OF course
OFcourse, they do have this responsibility just we need to proceed step by step. So if the point is made in a note then it is there on the record to be used and referred to later if need be (just reiterating verbal point in writing)

Marianne F:Hi, if the feeling is to keep it in then perhaps as a note? But Lee is pointing out the timing issue so I would defer to those who know ICANN better than I do
Marianne F:

Alexandra:
I might have

could smb please remind

Pranesh Prakash:Apologies. I have to leave now. But would just like to reiterate that
we mustI
wemustI(strategically) bear the burden of being the people who take positions on sensitive commercial issues. If we don't, no one else will. We can build bridges after we have some rough position.
Marianne F:+1 from mePranesh; point well taken, cheerio!
rafik:@Alexandra we have some GAC members in the CCWP, it has its own working group and Lee is basically doing the liaison. maybe Lee can elaborate here
Marilia Maciel:
Maybe we could
Maybewecould move to the session in BA?
Monika Zalnieriute:
So I
SoI would like to get the idea what do we do?: please type in here, so I could briefly have an idea who is for LEAVING the UDRP and who is for TAKING OUT
Niels ten Oever - Article19:
The consensus seems

simplylikeanexamplementione, in a sentence?:)
Alexandra:guys, just a quick comment/observation: an
elaborate description of this one case
elaboratedescriptionof thisonecase study now will definitely attract criticism from Russian GAC representatives - as at
the Signapore meeting
theSignaporemeeting they were very vocal on the Crimean domains issue from the HR perspective. It's a
very debateable issue
verydebateableissue in terms of how exactly
that relates to the ICANN remit
thatrelatesto theICANNremit, but if
the HRtalk starts
theHRtalkstarts with UDRP in detail I can expect the reaction :) what I mean is that there seems to be a strong link for
them berween ICANN and that incidet in
themberweenICANN and thatincidetin the HR context. I can expect there will be efforts to stick it in
Marianne F:..I see your point but won't there be this sort of push back anyway? If this example really could become a red herring (forgive the pun) then leave it out for now. We can always put it back in...
Alexandra:
yeah I
yeahI guess you're right.. But it would be good to at least formulate some stance on the issue from the group? or have a longer least of potential case studies for future
Alexandra:*list
rafik:
there will be
therewillbe pish back for many topics, that is why we have to work on consensus and "educate"
Marilia Maciel:Yes, open to collaboration/endorsements
rafik:
we need to

ownership on itw own deliverable

Marianne F:
I agree
Iagree; send the final version of the report to the CCWP for comments. People comment best when there is something concrete to comment on.
rafik:
the public session

Alexandra:
It might be

experience in HR audit

Amr Elsadr:@Monika: I'm not entirely convinced that CSR should be the focus. The real
need of HR
needofHR consideration in ICANN is on how the policies affect domain name holders. This is done using the governance mechanisms via the contracts between ICANN and the registries and registrars, as well as the contracts between the registrars and the registrants.
AmrElsadr:I'mnotsayinthat CSR should be excluded, but it shouldn't dominate the focus of the group.
matthew shears:@ Amr - understand your point re CSR - but I guess my feeling is that using that approach as an umbrella may make the issue for palatable
Amr Elsadr:@Matt: Looks interesting. Will have to put a couple of hours aside to go through it. :)
