Dear Kavouss, dear Bruce, well this day is just full of good news about human rights commitment. I am sure many of the CCWG members are happy to hear that the board is developing a resolution in addition to the bylaw text! Thanks for the updates, Bruce. If CCWG members (especially those who were a part of WP4 on human rights) can be of any help for developing this wording together with the board, I am sure some of us will volunteers for this. There are some good examples of such commitments already adopted on practice (well, they probably can't serve as a quick off the cuff solution because of ICANN's unique mission and operations, but with some fine-tuning one can develop something similar in spirit). I am sure ICANN will find a proper wording. Thanks again! Best regards Tatiana On 04/02/16 10:41, Bruce Tonkin wrote:
Hello Kavouss,
We discussed both options yesterday. We went with this option in the spirit of helping to reach closure on CCWG recommendations.
There is still some support on the board to also pass a resolution but we felt that we needed more time to get the wording of such a resolution right. I welcome any suggested text that could be considered at our meeting in Marrakech.
Regards
Bruce Tonkin

Hello Nigel,
and clearly says "human rights are NOT part of our core values". I don't think that is quite right.
Applicable law actually covers some human rights (e.g. slavery, torture) - it just may not cover all the human rights that you would like to be considered by ICANN.
There are some human rights that clearly don't apply to ICANN - ie we don't have arrest powers so arbitrary arrest clearly doesn't apply, nor do we charge people with penal offences, or confer nationality on people.
It is determining the relevant human rights that should apply to ICANN beyond the basic set that is in applicable law that is the subject for work stream 2.
