DNS abuse and Human Rights Impact Assessment

[gopal]

Thank you Farzaneh Badii.

The 1981 book by Samuel Florman has an apt title "Blaming Technology: The Irrational Search for Scapegoats". Blaming Technology when something fails....sometimes technology fails too...gives most concerns in Human Rights Impact.

It is the case of "People Maturity" that we need to address first.

Subject: Re: DNS abuse and Human Rights Impact Assessment

Hi everyone,

I have prepared the attached slides. I have also put it in the Google doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l-hLiIJOMwORRx2QTbuJVpiHLyIOt3p0oQ-Ee-LEUMA/edit?usp=sharing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l-hLiIJOMwORRx2QTbuJVpiHLyIOt3p0oQ-Ee-LEUMA/edit?usp=sharing>

 Please comment but the gist of it is as below:
What is a human rights impact assessment?
HRIA process at a high level
How can we do HRIA in the field of DNS Abuse
Improving the DNS Abuse amendments implementation through HRIA
Step by step HRIA: example of domain name suspension
Recommendations

 Best regards,


Farzaneh

Hello all,

Short version of this email: the CPH for its next outreach session has decided to allocate 20 minutes to NCSG to provide its reflections on how to go about doing Human Rights Impact Assessment (something we asked for) in terms of the DNS abuse contractual amendments. I am going to set up a document and we can start working on the slides and a brief, also will ask Ephraim who led the human rights group at ICANN for a long time to work with us on this.
Long version of this email:

Since we have a few new members, here is an intro: I am the liaison on DNS abuse for NCSG to the Contracted Party House- domain name registries and registrars. NCSG is the mothership of NCUC and NPOC, when you join NCUC or NPOC you automatically join NCSG. But you can also be a member of NCSG and not choose a constituency- we are a part of a larger House which is called Non-Contracted Party House because we don't have a contract with ICANN- we share the House with the Commercial Stakeholder Group which has its own constituencies). We usually do our policy work through NCSG and through the council.

A few months ago, CPH started doing more structured outreach with other community members because they negotiated (bilaterally and not through the multistakeholder model) contractual amendments with ICANN on DNS Abuse. Read about the changes and the advisory here<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreement/draft-icann-advisory-dns-abuse-amendments-25-05-2023-en.pdf>.

We (NCSG members and CPH) had our first meeting with them in January on DNS Abuse. Read Kathy's comprehensive notes on this<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hfCHp9bFE9UiDva6fqS25Q0G0vnOOQoV3o2iGytC_Sc/edit>.  We also had a very interesting conversation in San Juan (CPH usually holds DNS abuse outreach sessions in ICANN meetings). I attended on behalf of NCSG and we mentioned a few of our concerns and we asked specifically for a human rights impact assessment and qualitative measures to define the success of these amendments. See the video of the session here. <https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/RyTv5okTUIFt3uNCVrIn93E3D-C_VaB45RVUyY77s02a1YSvXCMW1o5VvoEsBTHjThsuDW2SszSM0ySn.aKpW4ik1hxrd5jkj?canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1709496981000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ficann.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2FQe0baDSB6oSxetyNM-8GkC_EvcPylQpAWPFM30QcOCDzLIAzg8vxPCgKmUwRQbf_.y63wnZJWkOLRCNrS%3FstartTime%3D1709496981000>

For the Kigali meeting the CPH has asked NCSG (us) to present what HRIA is and how should it be done. Our next step is to come up with a few slides and a brief and explain to them what it is (we will have 20 minutes). I will set up the document.

Best regards,



Farzaneh
