-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Peter, I like the addition of the human rights report. The separate mentioning of FoE and Privacy might be counterproductive since we argued time and again in the CCWG that human rights are indivisible, interrelated and interdependent. Finally, I wouldn't differentiate between a human rights policy and CSR. I propose we focus on human rights first, because that is something that might seem attainable, Let me know what you think.

Dear Nils, dear All,
Thank you for the text, I can only support it. I have also some suggestion to be considered, maybe it's too ambitious at this stage, but I think it would be worth to consider:
The board of ICANN commits to take concrete steps to operationalize its core value of respecting human rights within ICANN's mission. The steps will include working together with the community to understand the potential human rights impacts of its operations through a human rights impact assessment, ***a Human Right Report***, engagement of the board, management, staff and stakeholders toward a common understanding of priority human rights issues *** which are freedom of expression and privacy, while keeping in mind other applicable rights from international human rights conventions*** and putting in place a human rights policy ***as well as a corporate social responsibility policy *** to address the priority issues.
Sorry I couldn't highlight the new parts therefore I put *** before and after.
Thanks again and best regards!
Peter

Hello all,
Motoko, Tatiana and I worked on a suggestion for a board human rights commitment as discussed during todays call. Please let me know if you have any comments:
The board of ICANN commits to take concrete steps to operationalize its core value of respecting human rights within ICANN's mission. The steps will include working together with the community to understand the potential human rights impacts of its operations through a human rights impact assessment, a Human Right Report, engagement of the board, management, staff and stakeholders toward a common understanding of priority human rights issues which are freedom of expression and privacy, while keeping in mind other applicable rights from international human rights conventions and putting in place a human rights policy as well as a corporate social responsability policy to address the priority issues.
Best,
Niels
