Dear CCWG-ACCT Co-Chairs, Members, Participants and ICANN Staff, 

 

Attached please find  our light comments on the final drafts of Annexes  2 and 6. 

 

Again, one global comment:   We assume that the preliminary notes  that currently appear in the drafts will be removed before publication.

 

Also, please note that to track the commitment regarding further work on Human Rights in Work Stream 2,   Paragraph 19 from Annex 12 should be revised to read as follows:

 

To ensure that adding the proposeda draft Human Rights Bbylaw provision into the ICANN Bylaws does not lead to an expansion of ICANN’s Mission or scope, the CCWG-Accountability will develop a designated Framework of Interpretation for Human Rights (FOI-HR) as a consensus recommendation in part of Work Stream 2, to be approved by the ICANN Board using the same process and criteria as for Work Stream 1 recommendations, and the bylaw provision will not enter into force before the FOI-HR is in place.  The CCWG and will consider the following as it develops the FOI-HRelaborates on the language to be used:

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Holly and Rosemary
