I think the consensus is that ICANN should, before it is permitted to transition, make an unequivocal strategic committment to internationally accepted human rights standard. That is the baseline.
I am content to allow HR issues NOT to affect IRPs, for example until as Framework, and detailed bylaws can be developed, e.g. immediately post transiation PROVIDED there is a solemn and binding committent to do that.
What I cannot accept, however, is that human rights are defined by applicable US law, which only implements human rights piecemeal.

Dear Nigel May you please be more specific on how including necessary high level materials / text in the transitional Bylaws and deferring the exact texts to be further developped once the frame work of interpretation of HR is fully developped and approved would result to Quote /"it removes all legalobligations on ICANN to respect internationally accepted human rights principles, since they do not form part of applicable law in California."/ Unquote //You have noted that after many hours of discussions there is no agreement for the full text to be included in the Bylaws as definitive nor any consensus to totally postpoe it to WS2.

The text is overcomplicated and it appears to me that it removes all legalobligations on ICANN to respect internationally accepted human rights principles, since they do not form part of applicable law in California.
If that is what the CCWG wants, I am disappointed. [...] -- Dr. Eberhard W. Lisse \ / Obstetrician & Gynaecologist (Saar) el@lisse.NA / * | Telephone: +264 81 124 6733 (cell) PO Box 8421 \ / Bachbrecht, Namibia ;____/
