18 Participants at start of call.

1. Administrivia

Roll call, absentees, SoIs, etc

Niels ten Oever -  No audio only. No changes. Mark Carvel and Jorge Cancio have input from the UN group on Business and Human Rights and I would ask if ok for them to present (no objections). will invite them to one of our future calls to present.

Tatiana Tropina: what exactly would be the benefit of this? Are they aware what we are doing? Are they familiar with ICANN?

Tatiana Tropina: or are the Ruggie salespersons? Sorry for being harsh

2. Discussion of work-in-progress considerations document by drafting team

(Review of the FOI document - Greg Shatan presenting 3 options)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KJfmglI5wBib7T5hgIMMysO7x6J3Oi5NYwN4AItZjkY/edit

avri doria: Strong support for proposal 2

Tatiana Tropina: I don't know if "I don't know whether alleged by some" is an appropriate text for such a document

Tatiana Tropina: I think proposal 1 and 2 can be combined to some extent but we have to be clear that the group hasn't reach an agreement whether to recommend Ruggie

Mathew Shears - Want to reinforce point made my GS - have to be careful how this is written. Options should be placed above the statement.

Niels ten Oever - MS could you expand on your views of the 3 options.

Mathew Shears- Really uncertain ADOPTION is the right word. Have to be careful in these options.

Tatiana Tropina: No but to make the second para in the FoI we have to really consider

Tatiana Tropina: because I wonder where this consideration that they are useful is coming from? Have we agreed on that?

David McAuley (RySG): Thanks Matthew, fair points

Tatiana Tropina: I mean have we really considered? And this actually goes together with what Matt is saying

Kavouss Arasteh - COULD be used as a guide is correct - this has been discussed over and over - but I do not agree with ADOPTION. We should not keep going over things that are done.

matthew shears: these 3 proposal are fraught with difficulties

matthew shears: yes, we have been here before ...

avri doria: "could be used as a guide" works for me. but i am more than happy to explore a multitude of wordings.

Tatiana Tropina: I strongly disagree

Erich Schweighofer: Kavous Arasteh is right - Ruggie is for commercial companies.

Tatiana Tropina - three people from the drafting team were not on the call to raise the issues. Disagree with KA, not all members of the drafting team were present which has caused issues.

avri doria: no it is for companies. 

Greg Shatan: People from different stakeholder groups, I may add.

avri doria: perhaps more pointed to the commercial affairs.  and we cannot deny that ICANN is involved in commerce.  it just does it 'not for profits’.  but commerce it is.

Erich Schweighofer: No public purpose ...?

Kavouss Arasteh - Tatiana, pls do not impose your views

avri doria: ... is invovled in in commerce ...public purpose is the reason. commerce is the method.

Tatiana Tropina - ICANN can in the future agree to follow the Ruggie principles - but our group has not reached agreement on this. But the group has to have the discussion.

Greg Shatan - Agree in large part with TT - we have not reached agreement. Have we completed the discussion - probably not - but we cannot buy the
Ruggies principles wholesale - maybe some subsets - but some parts are certainly unapplicable and possibly against ICANN's mission and this goes beyond the scope of this group.

Niels ten Oever: It's not like we never discuss this.

Tatiana Tropina: we have to have at least the discussion on the option 1 or 2 we never had a discussion whether we have this conclusion or not
exactly so I don't agree with having a sentence just because it sounds nice.

matthew Shears: I would argue given the differences of opinion and interpretation it is to early to make a commitment of sorts to Ruggie - it may be that
this is addressed in the future as we have also discussed in the past

Tatiana Tropina - I agree that we can say thay ICANN org or community can decide for themselves what to do with Ruggie we have to be crystal
clear that this group agreed or disagreed upon. I am not against Ruggie if ICANN wil decide to commit. Fine.

Avri Doria: well they have to be guided by the ones that are inappropriate.  there is no binding, just a guideline, somethog to get a clue from.

Kavouss Arasteh - If some people did not attend, it may be wrong that that opposed to what has been agreed at the meeting in which several people attending

avri doria: well they have to be guided by the ones that are inappropriate.  there is no binding, just a guideline, something to get a clue from.[they do not have be guided by ...

Tatiana Tropina: Avri, I am fine with the sentence that we advise to consider if the find this necessary

David McAuley: I would add my voice to saying we have to be very careful how we refer to the Ruggie principles. these are simply guidelines as stated in the Bylaws.

Tatiana Tropina: Avri, I am fine with the sentence that we advise to consider if the find this necessary fine. Why not. But let's not confuse anyone with what
we agreed upon and what we considered

Kavouss Arasteh - Secretatriat , pls also include my comments like other comments

avri doria: /9on the notes, there was a not missing in my first sentence)

Greg Shatan: And that's why significant points should not be decided at a single meeting. Otherwise, people could schedule meetings at a time
when people are engaged in other ICANN-related meetings and unable to attend, and use that to jam minority positions through.

Tatiana Tropina: David, agree! A very good point. ICANN can consider Ruggie but we certainly can't decide for them and we haven't agreed what is useful

avri doria: agree not binding.

Kavouss Arasteh - If people do not attend a meeting where things are decided you cannot come up after to change things. So do not
agree with TT. Suggest use COULD BE USED WHERE APPLICABLE. We are not charged with any ADOPTION.

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): I thought that we worked under that principal Greg

Tatiana Tropina: They have some strong language

Greg Shatan: Sorry for the duplication, didn't even know that could happen!

matthew shears: there is nothing to stop discussion of ruggie occuring in the future

Tatiana Tropina: and any language which is vague can still be used to go outside the limits

Tatiana Tropina: Matt +1

avri doria: ( greg been happenin to me too - did not understand how it happened )

Tatiana Tropina: it is appropriate when people didn't raise any issues we are raising them now

avri doria: decsions are not made in one meeting, i thought

David McAuley (RySG): disagree respectfully w/Kavouss - if a person misses one meeting they should still be able to be heard

Tatiana Tropina: Especially if the person was trying her best to draft and raise issues

John Laprise: Strongly disagree with Kavous. We want a strong output document. Period.

Tatiana Tropina: We can't rush compromising the quality

John Laprise: agreed Tatiana. Kavous: we're not in the UN we're volunteers working on Internet governance policy.

avri doria: i thought we were working toward consensus as much as possible and nothing is decided until everything is decided.  and that is by the plenary not us.

matthew shears: + 1 Tatiana

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): certainly we take that as rule for my WT and all other groups in ICANN I work with Avri

Tatiana Tropina: if we are to go for the option 2, we have to consider it not as a sentence but content wise

Greg Shatan: Agree with Avri & Cheryl.  And with Niels position on where we are and the two readings rule.

matthew shears: yes

Niels ten Oever: As TT and MS have said there may be a combination of options 1 and 2 which could work.

matthew shears: yes

Tatiana Tropina: only if we consider option 2 properly

Kavouss Arasteh - Avri, if you want to make a principle of "i thought we were working toward consensus as much as possible and
nothing is decided until everything is decided.  and that is by the plenary not us.- pls submit your views to CCWG Plenary

avri doria: Kavouss, not me.  I thought that was the modality we worked by.

Kavouss Arasteh - Not at all

avri doria: and ICAN Consensus not Full Consensus

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): yup

Kavouss Arasteh - who agreed with that modality - is it in the charter?

avri doria: of WS2?

avri doria: i thought so.

Greg Shatan: I cannot agree with general support for the Ruggie Principles.

matthew shears: proposal 1a and 2 wil need some serious massaging and would need to be future oriented - the first para of proposal 1 stands as a separate statement of fact

David McAuley (RySG): Well put Greg that RP is not a banned book and not THE guide

Tatiana Tropina: If we adopt Option 2 we have to mean it and we have to be very clear on what we are agreeing to - need to discuss properly - will support any consensus.

matthew shears: its a marriage that will need a lot of work

avri doria: I think Tatiana concern is premature

Niels ten Oever: Might also be interested to hear the UN WG about this

Kavous Arasteh - Cannot say Ruggie Principles are completely inapplicable. this has been discussed.

Tatiana Tropina: it was discussed and we never agreed it was applicable

Tatiana Tropina: if we agree - fine. I am fine. I am against the sentence without a proper consideration.

Greg Shatan: The Ruggie Principles are most certainly not "applicable law."

Tatiana Tropina: no, they are not applicable law

David McAuley (RySG): +1 Greg and Tatiana

Niels ten Oever: No, they are a soft-law instrument.

avri doria: my point was that is is premature to worry about the details of Ruggie.  It is a guide for those doing commerce.  anyone using it will
have to take into account all thr restraints of the bylaws and not use it inappropriately.  to do that up front seems premature.

Tatiana Tropina: I think it is as premature as recommend to include the sentence only because we like how it is written proposal two hasn't got
enough consideration it’s still a proposal. And we for now just consider it as a sentence, a text.

Greg Shatan: First ws have to discuss whether it could be useful.

Tatiana Tropina: Yes. If we write this we have to discuss this. yes exactly - not all are useful, right? why are we writing they are all useful?

Kavouss Arasteh -  Use Could, would etc. Saying not applicable is not good - this has been discussed many times.

Tatiana Tropina: I think Kavouss is very close to the truth - under sertain circumstances if so decided by ICANN org, board or community

Niels ten Oever: @Kavouss - added to the GoogleDOC

Tatiana Tropina: depending on the case

Greg Shatan - We cannot recommend the Ruggie Principles wholesale - some may be useful. This is a decision for another time - which could be
useful or appropriate under what circumstances. Lets not go through them one by one.

matthew shears: we are interpreting and implementing the bylaw.  as to whether it is useful for interpreting we have discussed and that we could
not agree.  there is nothing to prevent them being revisited in the future and we could address them in that context

Tatiana Tropina: Greg what if we leave the decision whether to use them as a guidance to those who want to use? ICANN org etc

matthew shears: we are not ruling them out

Tatiana Tropina: with careful consideration I also don't think so - it's not our task. But we have to be clear that it's up to them to decide and that we couldn't agree

matthew shears: + 1 Greg

Niels Ten Oever - GS proposal sounded like a good compromise - could you put this in the Google Doc?

Kavouss Arasteh - Tend to agree with last statement of GS - Certain principles could be used for guidance under certain circumstances. This would
work and leave it at that.

Tatiana Tropina: +1 greg

avri doria: except for the 'under any circumstance' goes too far let the future decide what fits the bylaws not us

Tatiana Tropina: we didn't suggest to say it wasn't applciable. we suggested to say we couldn't recomment and that's not up to us to decide

David McAuley (RySG): agree with Greg - RP is not to be "recommended" but can/may be a guide in appropriate circumstances that might
help ICANN discern what it ought to do under bylaw constraints

Tatiana Tropina: other than that. agree with Greg David, and it should be their decision, not ours - the applicability

Avri Doria: yes Tatiana

Matthew Shears: agree

David McAuley (RySG): exactly - we cannot peer into the future for ICANN, thay must abide by bylaw in the day

Niels ten Oever: Positive is nice

Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): the proposed text when captured then of course needs to go to the list for wider review and then discuss in our next meeting

Tatiana Tropina: I am not against I am just against blank decisions and recommendations. If ICANN decides to use Ruggie I would be only welcoming
this. Well, if they decide with careful consideration :-)

avri doria: whereas the guidelines should still guide

Niels ten Oever - Sounds like a possible compromise. Can we move to other parts of the text in these last few minutes of the call. Lets share this language
and have two readings of it to confirm consensus.

David McAuley (RySG): agree w/CLO

Tatiana Tropina: agree with Cheryl, too

Markus Kummer: there is room for some creative drafting!

Tatiana Tropina: this is not finished and we have to redraft and re-discuss to make everyone happy - Markus, there is always the room... last week it was
Hilton breakfast room ;-) for three of us

Tatiana Tropina - for the policy framework part - change operationalize to PUT IN PRACTICE etc. (review of document). Each SOAC should take this
into consideration individually. Balancing important.

David McAuley (RySG): I think the word "commitment" (last word penultimate sentence) ought to be "core value"

Niels ten Oever -  please look at the document and comment on the list. I will propose to present where we are in Copenhagen at the plenary tomorrow
as we will not have consensus by then.

Kavouss Arasteh - What is TT proposing?

Niels ten Oever - a work in process but we are progressing. Lets hope we can continue to do this going forward. Talk next week. Adjourned.

Decisions – none

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:13) there is no sound

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:19) But it has happened to me always

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:19) No but to make the second para in the FoI we have to really consider

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:19) because I wonder where this consideration that they are useful is coming from? Have we agreed on that?

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:19) Thanks Matthew, fair points

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:25) we have to have at least the discussion

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:25) on the option 1 or 2 we never had a discussion whether we have this conclusion or not exactly

  Greg Shatan: (13:28) And that's why significant points should not be decided at a single meeting.

  Bernard Turcotte Staff Support: (13:29) Trying folks

  Greg Shatan: (13:29) Otherwise, people could schedule meetings at a time when people are engaged in other ICANN-related meetings and unable to attend, and use that to jam minority positions through.

  Greg Shatan: (13:29) Otherwise, people could schedule meetings at a time when people are engaged in other ICANN-related meetings and unable to attend, and use that to jam minority positions through.

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:29) David, agree! A very good point. ICANN can cosider Ruggie but we certainly can't decide for them and we haven't agreed what is useful

  avri doria: (13:29) agree not binding.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:30) I thought that we worked under that principal Greg

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:31) it is appropriate when people didn't raise any issues

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:31) we are raising them now

  avri doria: (13:31) decsions are not made in one meeting, i thought

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:31) disagree respectfully w/Kavouss - if a person misses one meeting they should still be able to be heard

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:31) Especially if the person was trying her best to draft and raise issues

  John Laprise: (13:31) Strongly disagree with Kavous. We want a strong output document. Period.

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:32) We can't rush compromising the quality

  John Laprise: (13:32) agreed Tatiana

  John Laprise: (13:32) Kavous: we're not in the UN we're volunteers working on Internet governance policy.

  avri doria: (13:32) i thought we were working toward consensus as much as possible and nothing is decided until everything is decided.  and that is by the plenary not us.

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:35) pls submit your views to CCWG Plenary

  avri doria: (13:35) Kavouss, not me.  I thought that was the modlaity we worked by.

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:35) Not at all

  avri doria: (13:35) ... modality ...

  avri doria: (13:35) and ICAN Consensus not Full Consensus

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:35) yup

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:35) who agreed with that  modality

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:36) is it in the charter?

  avri doria: (13:36) of WS2?

  avri doria: (13:36) i thought so.

  matthew shears: (13:37) proposal 1a and 2 wil need some serious massaging and would need to be future oreinted - the first para of proposal 1 stands as a separate statement of fact

  Bernard Turcotte Staff Support: (13:37) Timing note 22 minutes left in call

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:37) Well put Greg that RP is not a banned book and not THE guide

  matthew shears: (13:38) its a marriage that will need a lot of work

  avri doria: (13:39) I think Tatiana concern is premature

  Niels ten Oever: (13:39) Might also be interested to hear the UN WG about this

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:39) tHAT IS NOT TRUE

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:39) writing a sentence that we have not agreed upon in the FoI is premature

  Brenda Brewer: (13:40) I can hear Kavouss

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:40) I can hear Kavouss

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:40) yes as can I

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:41) it was discussed and we never agreed it was applicable

  avri doria: (13:41) but can't hear me

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:41) didn't here you Avri

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:41) i did not hear you Avri

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:41) if we agree - fine. I am fine. I am against the sentence without a proper consideration.

  Greg Shatan: (13:41) The Ruggie Principles are most certainly not "applicable law."

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:41) no, they are not applicable law

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:42) +1 Greg and Tatiana

  Niels ten Oever: (13:42) No, they are a soft-law instrument

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:42) no

  Bernard Turcotte Staff Support: (13:42) no audio

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:42) cant hear

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:42) not hearing

  avri doria: (13:42) my point was that is is premature to worry about the details of Ruggie.  It is a guide for those doing commerce.  anyone using it will have to take into account all thr restraints of the bylaws and not use it inappporpitely.  to do that up front seems premature.

  John Laprise: (13:42) not hearing avri

  Bernard Turcotte Staff Support: (13:42) from Avri

  Greg Shatan: (13:42) Silence.

  Kavouss Arasteh: (13:42) I do not hear Avri

  avri doria: (13:43) i will reboot be be back. but i worte what i wanted to say

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:43) I think it is as premature as recommend to include the sentense only because we like how it is written

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:43) proposal two hasn't got enough consideration

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:44) it's still a proposal. And we for now just consider it as a sentense, a text.

  Greg Shatan: (13:44) First ws have to discuss whether it could be useful.

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:44) Yes. If we write this we have to discuss this.

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:44) yes exactly - not all are useful, right?

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:45) why are we writing they are all useful?

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:45) there are two hands up

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:45) I think Kavouss is very close to the truth

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:46) under sertain circumstances if so decided by ICANN org, board or community

  Niels ten Oever: (13:46) @Kavouss - added to the GoogleDOC

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:46) depending on the case

  matthew shears: (13:47) we are intreting and implemetning the bylaw.  ias to whether it is useful for interpreting we have discussed and that  we could not agree.  ithere is npothing to preent them being revisited in the future and we could address them in that context

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:47) Greg what if we leave the desicion whether to use them as a guidance to those who want to use?

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:48) ICANN org etc

  matthew shears: (13:48) we are not ruling them out

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:48) with careful consideration

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:49) I also don't think so - it's not our task. But we have to be clear that it's up to them to decide and that we couldn't agree

  matthew shears: (13:49) + 1 Greg

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:49) +1 greg

  avri doria: (13:49) except for the 'under any circumstance' goes too far

  avri doria: (13:49) let the future decide what fits the bylaws not us

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:49) we didn't suggest to say it wasn't applciable. we suggested to say we couldn't recomment and that's not up to us to decide

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:49) agree with Greg - RP is not to be "recommended" but can/may be a guide in appropriate circumstances that might help ICANN discern what it ought to do under bylaw constraints

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:50) other than that. agree with Greg

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:50) David, and it should be their decision, not ours - the applicability

  avri doria: (13:50) yes Tatiana

  matthew shears: (13:50) agree

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:50) exactly - we cannot peer into the future for ICANN, thay must abide by bylaw in the day

  Niels ten Oever: (13:51) Positive is nice

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:51) the proposed text when captured then of course needs to go to the list for wider review and then discuss in our next meeting

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:51) I am not against I am just against blanck decisions and recommendations. If ICANN decides to use Ruggie I would be only welcoming this. Well, if they decide with careful consideration :-)

  avri doria: (13:51) wherreas the guidelines should still guide

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:51) agree w/CLO

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:51) agree with Cheryl, too

  Markus Kummer: (13:52) there is room for some creative drafting!

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:52) this is not finished and we have to redraft and rediscuss to make everyone happy

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:52) Markus, there is always the room... last week it was Hilton breakfast room ;-)

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:52) for three of us

  Greg Shatan: (13:52) Tatiana should do this one.

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:54) I think the word "commitment" (last word penultimate sentence) ought to be "core value"

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:55) Thanks tatiana - was clear

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:55) Tatiana, that is

  Bernard Turcotte Staff Support: (13:55) time check 5 minutes mark

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:55) yes core value :)

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): (13:55) agree David

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:56) Thanks David - changed.

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:56) I dunno how we missed this, we tried to avoid this language

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:56) Thank you Tatiana

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:56) apparently there is always a room for improvement :-)

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:56) we can present everyting, I agree

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:56) (especially because I arrive on 11th and will attend remotely :)))

  matthew shears: (13:56) always a work in progress....

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:57) Matt, once we will be there.....

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:57) future is bright.

  Markus Kummer: (13:57) work in progress ain' bad...

  Niels ten Oever: (13:57) working together is already celebrating ;)

  David McAuley (RySG): (13:58) Cake for everyone

  Tatiana Tropina: (13:58) Cake! Cake! I want free cakes for the whole meeting :-)
