Re: [CCWG-ACCT] "Christmas trees" and "Consumer Trust" in Article 1 of the Bylaws

Avri, The exercise of delegated rule making (Prof. Froomkin's language, not the more familar Jones Day's language) does not vacate the delegating agency's larger obligations, which includes a respect for human rights. [1]

I still maintain that as a vassal of the NTIA, ICANN would have been constrained to respect human rights and that the loss of NTIA forces us to take some responsibility for that as a corporation, especially in regard to an open Internet.

So I agree with your statement as to where the responsibility lies. Eric Brunner-Williams Eugene, Oregon [1] Some laughter is permissible at the human rights pretentions of the USG.
