FYI: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors
by Patrik Fältström 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being. Patrik Fältström Head of Research and Development Netnod Begin forwarded message: > From: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > Subject: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors > Date: 17 juni 2013 18:23:09 CEST > To: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > > We are pleased to announce the publication of the European Commission Sector Guides on Implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. > > > Download the Guides here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=6711&lang… > > The Guides – for employment and recruitment agencies, ICT companies, and oil and gas companies – were developed over the past 18 months by Shift and IHRB through extensive research and multistakeholder consultation with representatives from the three industries as well as governments, trade unions, civil society, academia and other experts. Read more about the Guides’ development here. > > Each Guide offers practical advice on how to implement the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in day-to-day business operations in each industry through step-by-step guidance. At each step, they summarise what the UN Guiding Principles expect, offer a range of approaches and examples for how to put them into practice, and link users to additional resources that can support their work. They are intended to help companies “translate” respect for human rights into their own systems and cultures. > > Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this process. > > Best regards, > > > CSR Team > > European Commission > Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General > Unit ENTR.D.1 >

Elephants and eIDs
by Gordon Lennox 02 May '16

02 May '16

Some people here may remember the presentation on eIDs at a previous RIPE meeting. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/chrisb/engaging-with-eu-legislative-process A draft Commission document which mentions eIDs has recently been “leaked”. http://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Platforms-Communication.p… See in particular the top of page 12. I understand from folk within the bubble (the Brussels/EU bubble) that this kind of thing is now seen as a way of testing the reaction of experts, of those really interested, before proceeding. So any prompt reaction, and this could be individual reactions rather than the reactions of organisations, may be useful. Indeed any reaction now may more useful than when the Commission has taken a formal position on the proposal and when the services are naturally obliged to defend it. This item from The Register - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/29/eu_login_youtube_national_id_card/ - would suggest that one person to write to is the Estonian Commissioner. Regards, Gordon

Net Futures 2016
by Gordon Lennox 24 Apr '16

24 Apr '16

Last week saw Net Futures 2016 in Brussels. http://netfutures2016.eu/ A good opportunity to hear people like Andrus Ansip - Vice-President & Commissioner for Digital Single Market, Günther Oettinger - Commissioner for Digital Economy & Society, Lise Fuhr - Director General of ETNO, Mats Granryd - GSMA Director General and so on; people you tend not to get all together in the same place that often. There are various videos available and I have been told slide-packs may be available soon. But I can recommend a look at the speeches given by the two Commissioners: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/2014-2019/ansip/announcements/speech-given-… https://ec.europa.eu/commission/2014-2019/oettinger/announcements/keynote-s… It was interesting how various ideas were presented. The current “consumer Internet” versus the future “industrial Internet”. The perceived need to move from "one size fits all" and "best effort", towards networks that can adapt to the different requirements of different vertical sectors, and that can deliver "guaranteed and ubiquitous quality of service”. The tying together of “things" with 5G. So a “thing” is something with one or more sim’s? And so it is somehow tied to mobile operator? And anyway 5G does almost everything? And so on. I could recommend going to Net Futures 2017! Gordon

Cruz and Co Send ICANN Another Letter
by Gordon Lennox 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

<< Republican Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (and others) has sent yet another letter to ICANN. This time round, the letter is addressed both to the Chairman of the ICANN Board, Dr Steve Crocker, as well as to former CEO Fadi Chehadé. The letter repeats some of the questions previously put to ICANN, though the wording is much blunter this time round. . . . >> http://www.circleid.com/posts/20160405_cruz_and_co_send_icann_another_lette…

FYI. Nurani Vice chair, CRISP team Begin forwarded message: > From: Izumi Okutani <izumi(a)nic.ad.jp> > Date: 2 April 2016 at 01:41:32 GMT+2 > To: ianaxfer(a)nro.net > Subject: [NRO-IANAXFER] CRISP Team review of the Updated 5th Draft SLA for the IANA Numbering Services > > Dear Colleagues, > > > The CRISP Team has reviewed the 5th Draft SLA, and we observe no inconsistencies observed with the number community proposal, i.e., the ICG proposal,including the changes made from the 4th Draft. > > Updated 5th Draft SLA for the IANA Numbering Services > https://www.nro.net/news/updated-5th-draft-sla-for-the-iana-numbering-servi… > > The focus of our review remains unchanged, and we primarily reviewed whether the SLA sufficiently covers the following four key elements of the number community proposal. > > * Service level requirements of the IANA Numbering Services are clearly defined to meet the expectations of the RIRs and the Internet numbers community > * The RIRs, and the Internet number Community through the Review Committee are able to conduct review of the service level, to ensure the service level is met in accordance with the SLA > * The RIRs have the ability to terminate the SLA, while at the same time ensuring the stability of the IANA Numbering Services, in accordance with the number community proposal > * The IPR and rights over data are transferred, in accordance with the number community proposal > > We would like to thank RIRs and ICANN for developing the 5th Draft in timely manner, and sharing it in a continued transparent manner with Internet number community. > For accountability of the SLA to be based on the ICG proposal with support from the community, it is our expectation that the completion of this SLA will continue to take place in such a transparent and open manner. > > As we have expressed in our review for the 4th Draft, as SLA provides the Internet number community with its required accountability measures on IANA Numbering Services, it must be considered as an essential commitment along with other improvements to ICANN’s accountability. While the SLA will have no effect until the transition actually takes place on 30 September 2016, it should be finalsed and signed, no later than the finalised changes to the ICANN Bylaws which have been specified by CCWG-accountability. > > It is our understanding and expectation that, the next version, reflecting feedback from the public comment by NRO until 15th April will be the final version of the SLA. > We trust the RIRs and ICANN continue to work constructively and transparently to finalise an SLA that respects the wishes of the number community including the timeline of its finalisation. > > > Best Regards, > Izumi Okutani and Nurani Nimpuno > on behalf of the CRISP Team > > _______________________________________________ > ianaxfer mailing list > ianaxfer(a)nro.net > https://www.nro.net/mailman/listinfo/ianaxfer
