How does GNSO contribute to WSIS Actionlines? Our mapping exercise

[farzaneh badii]

Hello NCSG,

We’ve contributed to the informal IG group on the GNSO Council to help map
current GNSO work to the WSIS Action Lines, please find the document
attached.

My personal rationale for doing this:

While I’m generally not invested in UN processes themselves, to talk to the
governments on a global scale, we have to use these processes. I believe
it’s important to communicate ICANN’s work to governments using the
frameworks they’re familiar with. So this time we used WSIS Action Lines.
Next time if there is another framework, we can use that.

To disclose further: that’s the main reason I engage with human rights
frameworks as well, even though I recognize their limitations, often
criticize them and sometimes find them ill-suited for Internet governance.
But these are the tools we have to address issues universally, so we use
them and hopefully we will refine them.





Best regards

Farzaneh
