DCPR RightsCon Meeting Report

Below some considerations for DCPR members and IGF community members on the outcomes of the DCPR meeting, held at RightsCon 2018, on Thursday 17, from 10:30 to 11:30.

In March we issued a call for participation in a DCPR Working Group* dedicated to the analysis of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms provided by platforms. As part of the WG process, we decided to review the existing mechanisms of dispute resolution of a selection of platforms, scrutinising due process requirements, and to identify good practices. 

We  accordingly defined a timeline for inputs by WG members on different steps. The first step concerns the request for feedback on the proposed template that will be used for review of existing dispute resolution mechanisms, and the selection of 2 to 3 platforms for review by each member of the WG.*

At RightsCon there was agreement to open the DRAFT template to feedback from all DCPR members, besides the existing WG members, who are welcome to provide comments for the next 2 weeks (until 7 June) using the following doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T-bMKnFBtsDQ_AycHjI-dlzwpAletMBWJilWRyD-4lM/edit

Moreover, it was noted that many people may have not checked the original call for WG participation (or simply forgotten to follow-up) and therefore it would be good to keep the WG open to further interested individuals who might have missed the previous call. If you want to join the WG, please contact us by 7 June and we’ll be happy to include you in the WG.

Lastly, it was noted that the DCPR IGF-session could be dedicated to the discussion of the DRAFT good practices on ADR mechanisms as well as the presentation of initiatives that might be plugged into the DCPR work-stream or that could benefit from collaboration with DCPR members (e.g. Nic Suzor's project on content moderation; Ranking Digital Rights' upcoming report, Global Partners Digital's proposal for Platform Content regulation, etc.).

If you have any suggestion in that regard, please do not hesitate to share them on the list. In this regard, several participants to our discussion stressed that the DCPR list is a valuable resource that is currently underexploited and we should start using it more frequently to share info and to facilitate cooperation.

More generally, please feel free to everyone is invited to share your comments on the DCPR list
