1) Describe the Trip/Event in sufficient detail | RightsCon is a conference that brings together human rights and digital rights groups to discuss and debate Internet governance and other digital policy issues. This year's meeting was held March 28-20 in Brussels, Belgium and was attended by nearly 1,500 people. NCUC proposed a panel on "Content regulation and private ordering at Internet governance institutions." The main topic of this panel was whether ICANN’s control of the root of the domain name system creates a centralised “choke point” where control over web site content and Internet expression can be exerted by regulating domain name registries and registrars (e.g., by taking down domains or withdrawing licenses to register names). In this regard, discussion focused on the "Healthy Domains Initiative" developed by a group of registries, including Public Interest Registry, the operator of .org. The proposal was accepted by RightsCon and put into the program on 10:30 - 11:45 on March 30. https://events.bizzabo.com/RightsCon/agenda/session/177174 The panel included Milton Mueller (NCUC member) as moderator; Tatiana Tropina (NCUC member); Peter Vergote, Legal & Corporate Affairs Manager of DNS Belgium vzw; Brian Cute, CEO of PIR; and Jnea-Jacques Sahel, ICANN's Vice President for Europe & Global Civil Society Engagement. The program was also promoted on the NCUC website http://www.ncuc.org/ncuc-at-rightscon-brussels-2017/ |
