<p dir="ltr">Hello Olivier,</p>
<p dir="ltr">My understanding is that further details will be developed in WS2. If the outcome of that process only involve sticking within the scope of "Within it's mission, ICANN will respect human rights" then fine. But there is a "internationally recognised" clause in the current wording. IMO that's the devil in the details that I look forward to seeing</p>

</span>ICANN performs some tasks which some Governments
have said should be<br>
performed by Governments. The current emphasis on Human
Rights is such<br>
that corporations and non-profits that have a strong
public interest<br>
component and that perform such tasks incorporate Human
Rights text.<br>
There is a cross community working party that has worked
for over a year<br>
on this and the idea has gone a long way from when it was
first<br>
mentioned. It is a side issue - let's not be the Advisory
Committee that<br>
takes position against this.<br>

SO: I would look forward to human rights wording in the
bylaw that would ONLY achieve the purpose you've stated
above. </div>

Do you not think that the language which is currently included is
suitable to explicitly state that the acknowledgement of HR does not
provide any additional right? I felt that the section was well
written.<br>
It is highly unlikely that at this stage we'll be able to convince
anyone to remove this section, bearing in mind the level of support
that it has gained from other communities. In addition, it would
reflect really badly on the ALAC to oppose a section on human
rights. I'd suggest we have much more concerns with other parts of
the report.<br>
