Further, what distinguishes the conversation of human rights from our recent discussion on consumer trust?

The difference is, as it was pointed in the thread on "Christmas Trees and Consumer Trust", that human rights have been extensively discussed during the preparation of the Third Draft Proposal at the WP4 and CCWG, while there has been a real dialogue on consumer trust outside of the new gTLD review discussions.
I think comparing human rights issues and implications to the discussion on consumer trust is not feasible - neither in the context of this group nor in the broader context. WP4 has achieved its a compromise and suggested the bylaw language after extensive discussions, so moving the issue of human rights completely to WS2 is not justified - at least not if one uses comparison with consumer trust issues for such justification.
Best regards
