So long as the 'applicable law' clause remains, ICANN will have NO legal obligations to respect human rights, post transition, on a literal construction. Therefore the proposed addition, whilst harmless, is perfectly otiose. There are many lawyers involved in proposing the 'applicable law' language. I cannot believe you do not know that there is NO 'applicable law' once ICANN is no longer an instrumentality of the state. Otherwise please give an example of a single legal provision on human rights that would fall under 'applicable law'. Just one.
