Designing a Human Rights Impact Assessment for ICANN=?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=99s_?=Policy Development Process

[Akriti Bopanna]

Hi everyone,

As co-chairs of Cross Community Working Party on Human Rights, Collin 
Kurre and I executed a Human Rights Impact Assessment for ICANN's 
processes along with a trial HRIA tream including Austin, one of the 
co-authors of the attached report.

It was the first time such an experiment was conducted, and unique 
because of being a multi-stakeholder attempt.

This report outlines the iterative research-and-design process carried 
out between November 2017 and July 2019, focusing on successes and 
lessons learned in anticipation of the ICANN Board’s long-awaited 
approval of the Work Stream 2 recommendations on Accountability. The 
process, findings, and recommendations will be presented by myself and 
Austin at CCWP-HR’s joint session with the Government Advisory Council 
at ICANN66 in Montreal during 2nd-8th November.

Looking forward to feedback from the community!

Best,
Akriti Bopanna,
