Welcome! ICANN60 will be our Annual General Meeting for 2017. This seven-day meeting will be focused on outreach, capacity building, and showcasing ICANN’s work to a broader global audience. For general information about ICANN60, please visit http://icann60.abudhabi
Human rights are an increasingly crucial part of processes and community discussions at ICANN. The commitment to human rights is now part of the ICANN bylaws with the the Framework of Interpretation being finalised. The most recent budget also approves a human rights impact assessment (HRIA) for 2018. The Cross Community Working Party on ICANNs Corporate and Social Responsibility to Respect Human Rights aims to provide an overview of ongoing human rights related processes and present research on ICANN's present and potential impact on human rights. The session will begin with an overview of the human rights discussion at ICANN, with updates from the CCWG processes from Work-Stream 2. This will be followed by the presentation of a new report on potential HRIA models for the GNSO. This session hopes to better inform the nuances of human rights discussions at ICANN, while encouraging interactive and constructive cross-community participation. We will invite expert discussants from across stakeholder groups to provide feedback and dialogue at the session. This builds on the sessions held since ICANN50 in London, on this issue as well as the previous reports that were produced on this topic which can be found here: http://icannhumanrights.net Wiki agenda page: https://community.icann.org/x/LSMhB - Staff Leader: Terri Agnew Staff Facilitator: Maryam Bakoshi
