Hi NCUC members,
Rightscon deadline for proposal submission is on 5th December, and we need to draft a couple of proposals to talk about issues that NCUC finds relevant at this point.
 NCUC organized a session at RightsCon 2016 in San Francisco. I think a good opportunity.
Here is the website: http://rightscon.org/
I have three suggestions and welcome other suggestions relevant to NCUC's mission, and edits and comments on these proposals to be submitted.  We should only submit one proposal as NCUC and the final description should go into more detail.
Proposal 1. Jurisdictional issues and domain name administration - we will talk about how ICANN's jurisdiction affects domain name policies and if it restricts access to applying for new gTLDs as well as affecting domain name rights.
Proposal 2. Adopting Multistakeholder Processes on the Internet: The Case of ICANN
ICANN is a private corporation that makes policies affecting domain name registrants globally. Unlike some other Internet corporations and platforms that take decisions unilaterally, ICANN uses a multistakeholder process for policymaking. Multistakeholder governance is a positive aspect of ICANN governance process. But sometimes there might be a circumvention of a process in generating the policies which might hamper the multistakeholder nature of ICANN governance. Considering the positive and negative aspects of ICANN's governance mechanism, the session will address the following question:  Can ICANN's multistakeholder model be used on other platforms and even social platforms to govern their process? 
Proposal 3. Content Regulation and private  ordering at Internet governance institutions
Private ordering is the generation, implementation and enforcement of policies by a private entity.   It has been a phenomenon on the Internet since the governments' oversight was weak or non-existent. Private ordering is used in internet governance institutions such as ICANN which mainly carry out their policies and implement them through a multistakeholder process and contractual agreements. Such agreements and policies must not lead ICANN to become a content regulator on the Internet. This session will discuss: What is content regulation on the Internet and does ICANN's policies affect the content on the Internet. If it does how so and why and how can we prevent ICANN from having such a role.
