Niels,

My comment was about the Sub Groups. In the postings discussing the work of the WP the term "group" was used in this (below: edited) posting, as well as PDP subgroup.
I am simply urging that labels be used to clarify that this is a Working Party, and either always use "subgroup" or something like "hrWPgroupX" .

I also wonder if calling something a "PDP" within this might also be confusing since there is a formal meaning for a PDP process within ICANN. I am just raising early questions concerning clarity in the hopes of minimizing downstream confusion.

The aim of this group is in two parts : 1. to create awareness about the various ways in which ICANN is impacting human rights, and 2. to visualise, document and map cases for the same.

Hi, 
I'm a little confused about the division between groups. I thought the research subgroup will be working on topics that aren't bound by any ongoing policy process or timeline, in order to give the group more research freedom. Wouldn't topics 3 and 4 be dealt with by the PDP subgroup? If not, what will the PDP subgroup be doing? 
Best,
Aarti

Hi Sam,

Am not sure where you saw a reference to the CCWP as a WG. The CCWP has
three Sub Groups (1. ICANN and human rights research, 2. human rights in
ws2 and 3. human rights in PDPs), as also documented on the wiki:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Subgroups

Hope this creates a bit more clarity.

All the best,

Niels

All,

I hate to be the pedantic one here but as I understand this ccWP, it is
a bottom up initiative among ICANN participants. It has no ICANN
chartering process, etc. and hence carries the ad hoc Working Party (WP)
label. It is not a formal ICANN Working Group (WG).

I hope I am correct in asking that all communications use proper
identifiers, and call it a Working Party, and not a group, or there may
be unnecessary and troublesome confusion both inside ICANN and outside
ICANN.
