Exactly

The proposed wording at the moment isn’t very clear to me.

“operationalise its commitment to human rights” - whose? How? Are you talking about ICANN the corporate entity? The community? Are you trying to make something binding on contracted parties? What? 
“contribute to a Human Rights Impact Assessment with the community of stakeholders” - again this is unclear. Does it refer to the ICANN corporate entity? ICANN policies? ICANN contracts? What? 
“work on a process for remediation” - remediation of what?

I’ve read and re-read that draft language several times and it’s not clear to me at all

Subject: Re: [Cc-humanrights3] [cc-humanrights] Draft board human rights commitment / statement

Dear Niels, dear all,
after reading this short email exchange with Michele, I realised that may be we have to be clearer when we send the proposed wording of the statement to the board. I suggest inclusion of the explanation "what it means".
Furthermore, after the call yesterday I am still not convinced that we can be sure that the board wants to go further than the language provided in the bylaw. I can suggest as an alternative solution that we send two proposed statements: (1) the one we discussed on the call and which is based on the bylaw (2) the statement on operationalisation and assessment that we drafted after the call. 
In this case, depending on what was the notion behind making this statement, the board can either chose one of them or draft a combination of two.
What do you think?
Cheers
Tanya

Hi Michele,

This statement means that the ICANN board will:

1. operationalize it's commitment to human rights
2. contribute to a Human Rights Impact Assessment with the community
of stakeholders
3. contribute to the development of a Human Rights Policy with the
community of stakeholders
4. work on a process for remediation.

Does this make it more clear? If not, can you make your question a bit
more precise?

Best,

Niels
