I'd still like to know which Human Rights ICANN is thinking of infringing? The more the CCWG drags on, the more I looking at Art. 5 UDHR . . On 06/01/16 13:51, Niels ten Oever wrote:

If you would permit me, I have a small process question:
The proposed text on human rights in the CCWG report has already been reviewed by lawyers (at the time it was prepared by WP4). Were these the same lawyers that will answer the proposed question underneath? If so, have they not checked for these risks the last time? If so, this could save us some time.
Best,
Niels

Hi all,
I would like to thank the co-chairs for their suggestion at the end of yesterdays call. Please allow me to make some suggestions to the language:
***
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.

Best,

All, as discussed during yesterday’s CCWG call, please find below the draft certification language to be sent to the lawyers with respect to the human rights recommendation and the Board’s concerns about legal risks. I plan to certify at 14.00 UTC tomorrow.

We would appreciate if you could provide us with a brief assessment and suggestions on how such risk can be mitigated. It is our understanding that human rights have been indirectly referred to in ICANN's bylaws already, so please also indicate whether (according to your assessment) the language that shall be added to the bylaws according to our 3rd report is establishing a new risk or an increased risk, if any. ***
Kind regards, Thomas Rickert
