[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: Community Leadership Calls with Göran Marby

Mon Feb 7 04:10:02 CET 2022

Ok thanks Benjamin, I was just having a conversation with Kathy, so you can
just relay her question and comment which was supported by Dorothy.

In these conversations, first of all it would be good what the CEO wants to
talk about too so that we can comment.

But conversations can be more fruitful if the answer does not belong to the
community but it’s a decision that the CEO and Board take. Chicken and egg
problem but something to consider.

What I am very interested in knowing more about, is the testing ssad and
sub-pro policies when it comes to global public interest. The ODA undertook
the exercise which can be found in an appendix:
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ssad-oda-25jan22-en.pdf#page101

I find the method a bit unclear. What is the future plans for GPI? Also as
well as GPI toolkit , can we do a human rights impact assessment on these
policies? Does the Board have any plans for that?
