There are two practical ways to incorporate concerns around human rights and public interest into ICANN policies and practices. One is this ongoing dialogue and continued advocacy where policy decisions impinge on human rights and continued advocacy for using more inclusive notions of public interest. 

A second and complementary way, linked to accountability and one that could be considered, would be to perform an annual audit of ICANN’s HR/PI performance, based on a key performance indicators scorecard. One way of doing that would be for NCSG to partner with an external organization with pre-existing expertise in the area of human rights monitoring, and combine their monitoring skills with NCSG’s understanding of ICANN’s Internet policy processes.
