Session Details
This session explores the human rights implications of disclosing private and personal data of domain name registrants. It will examine how registrars evaluate urgency, and make disclosure decisions while respecting privacy, freedom of expression, and due process. It also discusses third party requestors (especially law enforcement agencies) authentication practices.
We will also discuss the role of data accuracy and whether ICANN’s experimental Registration Data Request Services (RDRS) can provide sufficient safeguards and transparency for the triage of third-party requests. The session will consider how registrars balance obligations with fundamental rights and whether a rapid Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) framework could support more consistent, rights-respecting disclosure practices.
Organized by NCSG in consultation with subject matter experts from different stakeholder groups, this session aims to advance community dialogue on aligning disclosure mechanisms with ICANN’s multistakeholder model and international human rights standards.
