[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [council] Council Prioritization Exercise

[farzaneh badii]

Hi

We only have until tomorrow. Lets send this to the council:

*1. Transfers Dispute Mechanism*
This issue should be prioritized in accordance with the findings of the *Human
Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA)* conducted after the Transfer Policy Review
PDP. The HRIA identified that access to effective remedy is a central human
rights consideration, and the lack of a clear dispute process for
registrants creates an accountability gap. Therefore, this work should move
forward as a matter of priority to ensure registrants have timely and
rights-respecting redress options in cases of domain name theft or
unauthorized transfers.

*2. Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) Phase 2*
We do not have a strong position on whether this work should be
prioritized. However, given the significant time elapsed since the original
PDP and the evolving enforcement landscape, the Council should consider
multiple recent studies on UDRP rather than relying on a single source.
ICANN org should also conduct its own study to assess the current
effectiveness, fairness, and accessibility of existing RPMs before
launching any new PDP.

*3. DNS Abuse*
While recognizing the importance of DNS abuse mitigation, we caution
against adopting the “doomsday narrative” that frames DNS abuse as an
existential threat to the multistakeholder model. The issue deserves
attention but not disproportionate urgency. If the PDP proceeds, mitigation
mechanisms must be evaluated not only for their perceived technical
effectiveness but also for their *consistency with human rights
principles*—including
proportionality, due process, and avoidance of over-removal or overblocking.
