Notes

These high-level notes are designed to help you navigate through content of the call and do not substitute in any way the transcript. 

1. Greg Shatan and Nigel Roberts on phone. 

Reminder: you are invited to fill in your statement of interest if incomplete. Staff is happy to assist. 

2.   Webinars

You are encouraged to spread the archives of the webinar. It is important that we get as much visibility as possible and as much community feedback as possible. There is a possibility to add another webinar towards the end of public comment period. Please let your respective communities know that we are happy to accommodate. We have received interesting questions from participants. They have been captured. Q&A will be published on our wiki. We are applying final touches and it will be published shortly after this call. 

Feedback:

- Invitations should be sent in UTC. Conflicting messages were sent in other webinars: e.g. PTI related comment on ICG webinar. Suggestion to review questions and answers. If answers require further clarification, we may want to consider providing further clarification. The document is complex even for those who have folllowed CCWG carefully. The third webinar should be scheduled 15 days prior to deadline. 

ACTION ITEM CoChairs to double check whether there are areas on which the CCWG can shed more light and to reach out to ICG to ensure the community has appropriate information. 

ACTION ITEM: Kavouss to send his calendar source to staff and Cochairs to determine error. 

ACTION ITEM: Staff to accommodate a webinar mid public comment period.

PC2 

We have received two comments and will begin analyzing the comments before the comment period ends. 

PC1 

PC1 responses are being reviewed by Rapporteurs are finalizing comments. The report is due on 19 August. 

Comments have made their way into the recently published report - as appropriate. We are confirming work that has already been done. This group is being transparent to community about how comments were processed. 

Feedback:

- We should not be focusing on this now.

--> We committed to providing detailed analysis and response. 

- We need to record what we have done. It is a part of completion process. It is essential to document it. 

- It is unfortunate we did not focus on responses as we did work. We have to do this.

3. Human Rights

There was a very vivid discussion about HR. We agreed to include a reference to human rights in our report acknowledging that there is more work to be done (see section in Work Stream 2). We have not been able to come up with consensus language and have provided language that was in discussion (paragraph 152). 

We have set up a mailing-list for discussing this issue. We have discussed whether we should be meeting in Dublin. The objective is to discuss expectation of WG. 

Feedback:

- We cannot amend PC2 but we should be prepared to discuss in Dublin. We should look into Human Rights as a whole.

- The subgroup needs to come up with a simple statement for Bylaws. We need to flesh out a set of topics that will need to covered in WS2. 

- What does Human Rights mean in ICANN context? We have to know what we are saying when we put this statement into the Bylaws. Board has underlying documents to explain what bylaws is. A lot needs to be done in terms of implementation. 

- On our to-do list: 1) Bylaw change; 2) common understanding of what we are putting into Bylaw (understanding of what fundamental rights is) ; 3) identify list for Work Stream 2. We must draw clear delineated boundaries. 

- We have to be aware that we are putting this for technical and business community, not for diplomats. We need to be careful as well in context of independent review panel. We are getting caught up in definitions. 

- Remain high level, not simple. We should avoid political motivation.

- We need to clarify in which field it can be applied and in which it cannot be applied to avoid any polemics. 

CONCLUSION: Agree on high level statement. 

ACTION ITEM: Subgroup to gather language that has been suggested and to put together a strawman text (Bylaw) along with rationale for CCWG discussion by mid September. This timeline will allow for conclusion in final report. Nigel is to coordinate.  

4 PC2

We will be using PC1 tool for consistency. Staff is incorporating comments as they arrive. Staff will implement timezone rotation to ensure it is up-to-date asap. Staff will also be providing weekly summary of input received to Chairs/Rapporteurs.

Feedback:

- Suggest using subgroups for analysis. 

ACTION ITEM: Thomas is to follow up on Kavouss' suggestion to have analysis subgroups for PC2. 

5. Outreach

This agenda item is to give you the opportunity to relay comments you have received from  your communities. Early warning system helps us a great deal.

- Note: there is possibility to post comment to NTIA. 

Feedback:

- Presentation of Core Values: columns should include existing 11 core values and amendments to these. Comparison is needed. Detected report gaps: example: 211-228 

ACTION ITEM: Kavouss to send details on report gaps.

- We need to include original ones (third column). It is very confusing.

ACTION ITEM - Becky to produce comparison to existing Bylaws. 

- Suggestion to have a repository for issues. Use a simple English approach (e.g. compact is very difficult to understand). Proofreading is desirable. 

ACTION ITEM: Share any items you believe need clarification in the report to the list. 

- Report puts GAC in a disadvantage position. 

--> We are not changing anything with GAC advice. There is no intention to marginalize GAC advice

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member: (06:20) Agree with Avri... and the manner we are dealing with the PC's  is in keeping wioth ATRT 1 recomendations 

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (06:21) Agree with Avri as well.  This feels like standard practice to me.  Otherwise, the comment period is far less meaningful.

  Paul Twomey: (06:30) Hi everyone

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member: (06:31) Hi Paul

  Padmini: (06:32) Could I please be added to said mailing list?

  Brenda Brewer: (06:32) Nigel Roberts is on phone line only.

  jorge cancio (GAC): (06:32) On HR I feel that the public comment period still gives us an opportunity to sense the general sentiment within the larger community and act accordingly still under WS1

  Kimberly Carlson: (06:33) @Padmini, yes I'll add you

  Padmini: (06:34) Thanks!

  David McAuley (RySG): (06:34) pls mute lines if not speaking

  Alice Jansen: (06:35) Loud typing - could you please mute?

  Avri Doria: (06:36) I think that we need to a- comeup with wording for a simple statement for  the bylaws of an value of repsecting human rights  within ICANN's mission and operations b - we should flesh out the topics that will need discussion as part of WS2

  Jonathan Zuck (IPC): (06:36) “I loved...[human rights]... against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.”

  jorge cancio (GAC): (06:37) +1 to Avri

  arasteh: (06:37) Secretaraiat

  arasteh: (06:38) Pls add the term" High Level EITHER TO " sIPLE" OR REPLACING SIMPLE WITJH HIGH LEVEL AS PEOPLE MAY CRITICE US THAT WE HAVE TAKEN SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AS SIMPLE

  Matthew Shears: (06:39) agree with Avri above

  arasteh: (06:44) nIGEL i AM HERE

  Carlos Raul: (06:49) ?????

  David McAuley (RySG): (06:49) audio?

  Carlos Raul: (06:49) did we loose the chair

  Carlos Raul: (06:49) nowhere to sit

  Leon Sanchez (Co-Chair, ALAC): (06:50) LOL

  Leon Sanchez (Co-Chair, ALAC): (06:50) luckily we didn't lose a chair Carlos!

  Carlos Raul: (06:51) :)

  Avri Doria: (06:54) i am happy to have Nigel take this task on, i volunteer to help and to comment.

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (06:55) I have to disagree with that approach.  We can't reach an understanding on bylaws text without reaching an understanding on its meaning.

  David McAuley (RySG): (06:55) I volunteer to help as well

  Matthew Shears: (06:55) also hapy to help

  Avri Doria: (06:55) Greg, I understood the task Nigel was taking on included a degree of undestanding and explanation.

  Thomas Rickert, CCWG Co-Chair: (06:56) Greg, bylaw language is most important to have. Provide as much rationale as you can, but do not take on too much work during the initial phase.

  Thomas Rickert, CCWG Co-Chair: (06:56) That is our only concern.

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (06:56) Thank you, Avri.  I had hoped and understood that to be the case, but Leon's answer seemed to indicate otherwise.  If you are correct, I support this approach.

  Avri Doria: (06:56) Greg, you make a good argument about the board needing to provide a reasonand exlanation of whaat the bylaw is about.  We should help them by providing that.

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (06:56) I volunteer to help  as well.

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (06:56) Thank you, Avri.

  Alan Greenberg: (06:57) I think that Paul's comment about the impact of external panels decisions made based on whatever working we use is an important point.

  Alan Greenberg: (06:57) wording..

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (06:57) Thomas, as I said, this is intended to steer the work on Human Rights, not to stall it.  I'm confident a group working together can strike the right balance.

  Leon Sanchez (Co-Chair, ALAC): (06:58) Could you please mute your mics if not speaking?

  Padmini: (07:00) how though? I can't find a button

  Avri Doria: (07:00) I am not som much trying to steer, ad certainly not to stall.  All I want to make sure of is that ICANN be committed to understanding and respecting human rights in its mission and operations.

  Alan Greenberg: (07:02) I agree with that. The Bylaw changes were VERY confusing.

  Greg Shatan (Birthday Boy): (07:03) I am as well, but as you say we need to provide a reasoned explanation/rationale of the meaning and effect of this commitment.  At the level of detail helpful to community and to the Board.

  Alan Greenberg: (07:08) Agree with Sebastien. There are things that I want to point out (in this case, a VERY LONG run-on sentence that is nearly impossible to parse). There should be a place other than the public ocmments for point these out.

  Alan Greenberg: (07:12) Current wording uses the phrase "will then try, in good faith and a timely manner, to find a mutually acceptable solution"

  Becky Burr: (07:12) i do not believe that the bylaws change at all with respect to GAC advice and the finding a solution

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member: (07:13) xactly Becky ? Alan

  David McAuley (RySG): (07:13) pls mute lines

  Keith Drazek: (07:13) The RySG will discuss on its bi-weekly teleconference this week.

  Becky Burr: (07:14) also, GAC advice is not subject to the IRP.  If ICANN violates the bylaws in following GAC advice, ICANN's action (not the GAC advice) can be challanged through the IRP

  David McAuley (RySG): (07:14) Good advice Thomas

  Pär Brumark (GAC Niue): (07:16) Txh all!

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr ALAC - APRegional Member: (07:16) All OK  from me

  James Bladel: (07:16) Thanks all.

  Matthew Shears: (07:16) thanks all

  Athina Fragkouli (ASO): (07:16) thank you all
