-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear Bruce, Hereby the Cross Community Working Party on ICANN's Corporate and Social Responsibility to Respect Human Rights (CCWP HR) would like to propose two suggestions for the Human Rights statement that the board is intending to make. One statement stays very close to the agreed bylaw language, and the other takes a more forward leaning position. We hope that these texts provide a useful input to your deliberations. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions or if we can be of any help. 1. The ICANN board commits to respecting human rights within ICANN's core values and mission. The Board will work together with the community to identify where ICANN's policies and operations can impact human rights and will seek to ensure that no human rights are adversely impacted. Furthermore, within its mission, ICANN will seek to review its processes for remediation to ensure that mechanisms are in place to redress if need be. 2. The board of ICANN commits to take concrete steps to operationalize its core value of respecting human rights withing 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, and engagement of the board, management, staff and stakeholders toward a common understanding of priority human rights issues, which would culminate in a human rights report, and putting in place a human rights remediation policy to address adverse human rights impacts.
