Summary of Attachment

In August 2022, ICANN published its Draft Registration Data Policy, requesting feedback from the community. We note that ICANN published the Draft Registration Data Policy as an outcome of the work of the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to develop an implementation plan in line with the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF), which was previously developed by ICANN and adopted by the GNSO Council.

We welcome the work of ICANN to release the document in line with Workstream 2 Recommendations on ICANN Transparency. Our analysis shows that, primarily, the document is a good first step but has fundamental gaps in ensuring the full implementation of Section 27.2 of the ICANN Bylaws (on Human Rights) and other Bylaws with an impact on human rights.

CCWP-HR, therefore, urges ICANN to implement the recommendations below, which would ensure that the Draft Registration Data Policy is implemented more closely with international law and best practice.
