I am in the Enhanced Cooperation /European session. Steve, I asked Anders to 
come in as well. Can you catch up w him that you are there? He is not online at 
all. 
It is interesting there is no technical, business participant - so not 
presenting all views. 

Steve, NOT suggesting this is relevant for interventions themselves,  but I am 
not sure this fits the requirement of "reflecting all views", in the panelists. 

Who from BC  is in the room w you? 

This session is going along...

AT&T, Disney, ICANN, Jimson and I are here... CS is all w you! Except Bill 
Drake..

 (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.
