Even so, there was broad support for companies and standard-setting bodies to introduce human rights commitments and <a href="https://icannhumanrights.net/due-diligence-and-why-it-matters/" class="">due diligence mechanisms</a>. One area of divergence related to which subset of rights should be prioritized, e.g. children’s, cultural, or LGBTQI rights. </p><p class="">Examples were given to demonstrate that impact assessment methodologies can be tailored to address specific, or various, categories of rights. As a result, participants suggested that such tools can make the subject of human rights more practical and tangible, or allow people with divergent positions to engage in a constructive way.</p><p class="">There was widespread multistakeholder support for organizing a High-Interest or Cross-Community Session on the subject of human rights during ICANN64, which will be held in March 2019. This will be an opportunity to showcase the CCWP-HR's progress on designing and testing impact assessments geared toward ICANN policy development processes. The initial HRIA model can be found <a href="https://icannhumanrights.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DRAFT-ICANN-HRIA-questionnaire-model.pdf" class="">here</a>; trial work on the Subsequent Procedures PDP kicked off this month.</p><p class=""><strong class=""><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtzw3CAj8s8&feature=youtu.be&t=143" class="">VIDEO FROM THE SESSION</a></strong><br class=""><strong class=""><a href="https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-ws-349-a-multistakeholder-approach-to-hrias-lessons-from-icann" class="">WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION & REPORT</a></strong></p><div class="">Kind regards,</div><div class="">Collin Kurre</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
