(No.123) Human Rights, Internet Policy and the Public Policy Role of ICANN

The recent years have proven that the openness of Internet is a
fundamental feature for the empowerment of citizens and the
strengthening of democracies. The framing of Internet policy should be
oriented towards this goal and the policies governing the Domain Name
System are not a stranger to this debate.
On one hand, a human rights assessment on new ICANN policies could
provide the community with means to better understand the impacts of
the introduction of new policies in the ICANN environment, in addition
to economic analyses. On the other, new regulation is being proposed
in numerous countries using the DNS system as a resource to prevent or
stop illicit activities. The fine balance between law enforcement and
the protection of human rights, such as free speech and privacy, among
others, is crucial for a number of new Internet regulations that
affects the DNS.
For example there are tensions between the potential benefits of
aggregating specific forms of content for communities of people to
support their right to information, and the ease of DNS filtering to
further censor or narrow the spaces for expression and information of
already marginalised/discriminated against sections of society, for
example, the introduction of dotgay.
Especially at ICANN, free speech concerns over the implementation of
new generic top level domains and the traditional debate over privacy
and the WHOIS highlights the need for a more concrete analysis on the
impact on human rights on ICANN activities.
However, ICANN is not a human rights standard setting body yet is
responsible for public policy making, although in a very narrow
sphere. The role and responsibility of ICANN in relation to human
rights needs further exploration and multi-stakeholder dialogue to
better understand how to give effect to human rights related issues
within ICANN.
The proposed workshop will provide a comprehensive analysis of
internet policy topics handled by ICANN that have human rights
implications and examine how these implications are paramount to the
fostering of the public interest in internet policy.
