Dear co-chairs,

Thanks a lot for this. Nonetheless there are some issues with the document you attached to your email:

0. Did we already hear back from the lawyers on the folllwing questions:

[quote]
In their comment to the 3rd CCWG draft report the ICANN Board has
raised concerns that the proposed inclusion of language in the bylaws
with respect to human rights might lead to an increased risk of ICANN
being exposed to legal claims or even law suits.

We would appreciate if you could provide us with a brief assessment
whether the inclusion of these bylaws would increase the risk of ICANN
being exposed to legal claims or even law suits vis a vis the current
situation (taking into account the existing obligations under article
4 of ICANNs articles of incorporation), and if so, how such risk could
be mitigated.

If not, I am not sure how useful it is to have this discussion now. Unless we're having the discussion on the basis of the premisse that the lawyers had already checked the text before we submitted it for comment and we thus can conclude that the risks that are implied by the board are not realistic.

1. Concerning 2a - Why is the GPI discussion conflated with the human rights discussion? I don't think it will help solve either of the issues.

2. Concerning 2b - I think 'defer' is meant here?

Looking forward to the discussion in a few hours.

Best,

Niels
