2. Analysis and discussion on the progress of the drafting team working on the new proposal for FoI
- 2nd reading continued
b.‘within the scope of other Core Values’ (with minor changes as per discussion last week)
- Drafting team has worked on this section
- Tatiana presented the revised text proposed by the drafting team
- The openning bracket before "finally" is a mistake and will be removed.
- David asking to clarify what the revision is about.
- Tatiana indicated that the revision was about "legal hierarchy".
- Greg indicated that the compromise proposed is the use of the work "standing' instead of "legal", ie "no standing hierarchy".
- No further comments from the group.
c.‘respecting’
- Greg read the section on "respecting"
- No further comments from the group
d. ‘internationally recognized human rights’
- Greg read the section on "internationally recognized human rights"
- Greg indicated that "International" should not be capitalized
- Andrew asked: "not applicable" in a legal sense?
- Greg: not applicable in any sense
- Group agrees with Greg's explanation
- Kavouss: international law should not interfere with applicable law
- Greg: this is covered by the section "Furthermore, depending on the jurisdiction etc." as well as the next section.
- David McAuley (RySG): it seems clear to me that national legislation is addressed in what Greg just read
- Niels suggests moving to next section.
e. ‘as required by applicable law’
- Tatiana read the section on "as required by applicable law"
- No changes were made here
- No comments from the group
f. ‘This Core Value does not create, and shall not be interpreted to create, any obligation on ICANN outside its Mission or beyond obligations found in applicable law’
- Greg read the section
- No changes made
- No comments from the group
g. ‘‘This Core Value does not obligate ICANN to enforce its human rights obligations or the human rights obligations of other parties, against other parties’ (with minor changes as per discussion last week)
- Greg read the section
- Kavouss: "other parties against other parties" doesn't seem correct, suggest changing to "one party against other"
- Greg agrees that the use of repetitive "other parties" is somewhat confusing. Suggest "one party against other parties" or " a party against other parties"
- David McAuley (RySG): The language is inelegant but in bylaws as I recall
- Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): it is very much like the Bylaws text - I'll defer to native speakers here...
- Andrew Mack: of a party against others sounds best
- Niels ten Oever proposes: This part of the bylaw draws the clear line between “respect” for human rights as a Core Value and any attempt to extend the Bylaw into requiring ICANN to enforce the human rights obligations of ICANN or any other party against other parties.
- Group agrees with Niels text.
- 2nd reading now finalized
- Need to discuss next steps: do we want to share this part of the work with the plenary now, or prefer to work on the other document first?
- Cheryl suggests sending this part to the plenary.
- Group votes to decide whether to send or wait. QUorum in favor of sending the FoI to the plenary for discussion
- ACTION (Niels): will take care of sending the FoI to the plenary
3. AOB
- Leon congratulated the subgroup for the progress made.
Action Items
ACTION (Niels): will take care of sending the FoI to the plenary

Andrew Mack: sorry for being late. trying to get done with some work pre-IGF
Kavouss Arasteh 2: other parties, against other parties’ This rediculous?????
John Laprise: Kavous: No, just prevents ICANN from becoming an enforcement agency
Kavouss Arasteh 2: One party agasint another party or againstother parties
David McAuley (RySG): what is what Tatiana reading now bracketed?
Kavouss Arasteh 2: One party agasint another party or agains tother partiesis the minumum changes necessary

Kavouss Arasteh 2: Tatina, plas stop reading
David McAuley (RySG): now I see
David McAuley (RySG): thanks Niels
Tatiana Tropina: Well I am sorry for reading but it was supposed to be reading... : ( I didn't enjoy it any moment if you ask me! : -)
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): thank you, Tatiana... the para beginning with "finally,..." is what we have found a new consensus on
Greg Shatan: Thank you for reading, Tatiana.
Greg Shatan: Agree that our drafting team was able to find consensus on this language.
Tatiana Tropina: Greg, sigh. I haven't read aloud such a long text for quite some time...
Andrew Mack: muffled
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): : )
David McAuley (RySG): very nicely done, Tatiana
Andrew Mack: agreed, nicely done
Tatiana Tropina: hehehe thanks
David McAuley (RySG): Kavouss is somewhat muffled
Tatiana Tropina: really big relief after reading this chat... !
Niels ten Oever: The audio quality is quite bad Kavouss
herb waye ombuds: Regrets folks am in a meeting with Board members. Will catch up next week, Herb
Kavouss Arasteh 2: David , pls speak slowly
David McAuley (RySG): sorry Kavouss, forgot, will do so
David McAuley (RySG): TY Tatiana
Yvette Guigneaux: Not sure what is causing muffling, working to fix if possible on this end
Kavouss Arasteh 2: No Legal ghierarchy
David McAuley (RySG): Thanks Greg and Tatiana for compromise explanation
avri doria: by stannding you mean established? not sure what standing means in this context.
Tatiana Tropina: I am very happy that it was such a constructve work on reaching this agreement, thanks a lot to Jorge and Greg for this
Kavouss Arasteh 2: Pls refain to introduce "Legal "
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): we have taken "legal" out
Tatiana Tropina: Kavouss, we stroke legal out.
Kavouss Arasteh 2: M,ay you show the test that we are discussing$
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): No change to "respecting" from the first reading
Greg Shatan: Yes, standing meaning established, but established had an implication that one could become established, which made it inappropirate.
Tatiana Tropina: Resecting
avri doria: nd something could not gain standing?
Tatiana Tropina: You lucky lucky
Kavouss Arasteh 2: Fair enought Grec
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): Niels: I suggest that we invite the subgroup directly to make comments and that we only re-read sections where we have had changes
Greg Shatan: Avri, no . For analogy, a committee is either a "standing committee" or it is not.
Tatiana Tropina: Agree with Jorge but we might get blamed for not going through the second reading properly? : -(
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): We are getting very formal : P
avri doria: i do not agree, but it does not matter. it is just a word.
Tatiana Tropina: Nice to get formal after some rather brutal fights : -)
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): what fights? ;P
Yvette Guigneaux: Niels, you should have scrolling rights again in case you need them
Tatiana Tropina: Jorge lol
Kavouss Arasteh 2: Iam againt the use of " OTHER PARTIES AGAINST OTHER PARTIES
avri doria: sooner of later someone will argue that some ordering does indeed have standing. but that is ok.
Kavouss Arasteh 2: pLS SEE MY PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
Yvette Guigneaux: Andrew has a hand up
Kavouss Arasteh 2: Pls kindly excuse me for CAP
Yvette Guigneaux: no worries Kavouss, its ok =)
Tatiana Tropina: yes it's about direct applicability
Nathalie Vergnolle: for the records, may I know who is talking?
avri doria: andrew mack
Tatiana Tropina: and Greg
Nathalie Vergnolle: thank you Avri
David McAuley (RySG): I agree with description Greg gave
avri doria: this is ICANN's escape clause from HR
Tatiana Tropina: Absolutely. The two para in this section try to avoid confusion also between applciable law and international instruments
avri doria: every HR instrument has an escape claue.
Tatiana Tropina: Avri but they are not directly applicable anyway.
Andrew Mack: you're right. we need to be clear -- it was more the way it sounded, but I do understand the importance of this clarity
Tatiana Tropina: May be Jorge wants to read something? : -)
Tatiana Tropina: I am trying to volntell him. I read an outrageously long para and I have Russian accent! : D
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): not that I'm against reading (which I am, if it is old text), but I'm on the move in a noisy place... no reading sensible...
Tatiana Tropina: Oks Jorge I will read : -)
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): I'll enjoy your russian nuances ;)
David McAuley (RySG): it seems clear to me that national legislation is addressed in what Greg just read
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): next time you may enjoy my swiss,spanish ones
Tatiana Tropina: Yes, David +1
Tatiana Tropina: I think it's a pretty well elaborated section.
David McAuley (RySG): No issues here as fine tuned
Greg Shatan: I can only offer New York nuances.
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): An interpretation shorter than the legal text is something especially valuable : -)
Andrew Mack: seems very clear
David McAuley (RySG): None here
Tatiana Tropina: Not that much choice of nuances.... Matt is not on the call to call him for reading.
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): NYC accent has always a special colour - as from the movies...
David McAuley (RySG): Jorge +1
Tatiana Tropina: We can record an audio book from the transcripts : -)
Tatiana Tropina: like "Best from Greg"
David McAuley (RySG): The language is inelegant but in bylaws as I recall
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): it is very much like the Bylaws text - I'll defer to native speakers here...
Andrew Mack: of a party against others sounds best
Kavouss Arasteh 2: Agree to the last intervention of Grec
Tatiana Tropina: Actually yes. We actually didn't lose this piece in the beginning, it was lost when we redrafted multiple times
Andrew Mack: against any other party
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): agree Andrew this text needs a redraft
Kavouss Arasteh 2: One part againt another party or parties
Niels ten Oever 2: This part of the bylaw draws the clear line between “respect” for human rights as a Core Value and any attempt to extend the Bylaw into requiring ICANN to enforce the human rights obligations of ICANN or any other party against other parties.
David McAuley (RySG): taking hand down, I agree with Greg
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): yup
Tatiana Tropina: Yes I agree
Andrew Mack: party, party, party... now I'm confused (and thirsty)
David McAuley (RySG): that sounds fine
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): meNew text has a yes frok
Greg Shatan: (You've got to fight for your right to) party.
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): the main interpretative element in the FoI excerpt is the difference between "respect" and "enforce" - the rest should align with the Bylaw text
David McAuley (RySG): congratulations to drafting (and reading) team
Tatiana Tropina: oh thanks a lot to all!
Greg Shatan: This calls for a party. And other parties.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): excellent progress thanks
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): party in Guadalajara I heard? Niels is inviting?
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): Greg : -)
Tatiana Tropina: Greg, Jorge, since we already learnt how to argue with each other, shall we volunteer for the next piece? ;-)
Tatiana Tropina: aha we are voluntold by default hehehehehehe
Greg Shatan: Glutton for punishment, Tatiana?
Tatiana Tropina: Greg, have long term record of that : D
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): please let do Drafting Team
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): Next week some of us are at the IGF... little time for this new step... but may be we could have some talk there?
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): good point Cheryl
avri doria: some of us just tend to withdraw from competition.
Greg Shatan: Go, Team.
Tatiana Tropina: Jorge, sure. We won't have Greg there though. But I am sure Matt and I can grab coffee... and Dial Greg in : -)
Greg Shatan: The turtle is green also.
Jorge Cancio (GAC Switzerland): let's conspire without Greg ;P
Tatiana Tropina: Greg... you had a nice small green turtle : D
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): be a great ending to the year
