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!
