Today Wednesday, from 13:14 to 14:45 PDT there will be an open and
(hopefully)
cross-constituency discussion in Room Encino (flyer attached) to
talk about some aspects of ICANN policies related to human rights
and to
think about the next steps of how to operationalize this discussion
on a
more sustainable way.
Possibile
key questions for discussion:
1. To
what extent is ICANN’s Applicant Guidebook in compliance with the
right to freedom of expression and freedom of association?
2. To
what extent are ICANN’s policies and procedures in compliance with
standards of non-discrimination?
3. To
what extent are ICANN’s policies and procedures in compliance with
the
right to privacy and personal data protection?
4. What
are the respective roles and responsibilities of ICANN and of
governments for the protection of human rights online?
5. What
is needed to enhance accountability for human rights protection
within ICANN?
Incase of any questions please feel free to reach out to Niels ten
Oever,
Head of Digital
Article 19.
