[NCUC-DISCUSS] ICANN Community Anti-Harassment Policy: Summary of Discussion So Far

Mon Dec 12 18:02:48 CET 2016

Corinne,

Thank you for this. This is an excellent starting point. I have added a few comments to your text but overwhelmingly I support your positions. In particular, decentralising the role of the Ombudsperson in resolving complains of harassment strikes me as a better path forward. Now that the IGF has ended, I will endeavour to expand upon this draft by our internal deadline of Thursday.

Best wishes,

Dear all,

To jumpstart this effort I have added some text to the Google doc. With the holidays coming up it might be good to be mindful of the initial deadline set by Rafik for next week Thursday.

Looking forward to discuss.
Best,

+ 1 absolutely that would be more efficient.

Hi Shane,

thanks for this effort to summarise the discussion, really helpful.
I think we can move those items to either google doc, etherpad and so on to work on the statement and let people comment directly or proposing edits there. definitely it is not early to start if we want to find a consensus based text. if everyone is ok, I can create a google doc quickly .

Best,

Rafik

Hello,

Apologies if I mis-characterize the discussion. It is not my intent to
pursue an agenda regarding the discussion here, but rather to try to
see where we are at and to make sure that the topic doesn't get dropped.

It seems there are some areas of agreement regarding ICANN's proposed
anti-harassment policy, but also some areas of disagreement.

Possible agreement:

* The power of the ombudsperson in this process needs to be tempered
and/or changed.

Probable disagreement:

* Having a list of examples of harassment is a good idea.
* We should have a procedure for dealing with vexatious complaints.

Unsure:

* Privacy of everyone should be insured by the process.
* List of Specified Characteristic is unwieldy.
* Ongoing harassment should be addressed.
* Specific changes to the role of ombudsperson in the process. Perhaps a
separate, community (non-staff, non-board) position for this?

I don't think that we can get consensus on the areas of disagreement.

I would like to hope that we can get consensus on at least some of
those that I am unsure about.

There may be other issues that have not come up yet, of course.

Possibly we'll need to commit to having an NCUC response as well as
separate responses by people about issues of disagreement?

Is it too early to start drafting text about what we do agree on?

Cheers,

Shane
