I have just read the “Proposed Framework of Interpretation for ICANN’s Human Rights Bylaw” a document prepared by a Cross Constituency Working Group (CCWG) Human Rights Sub Group.

A Framework of Interpretation is a required submission to the ICANN board, by the CCWG-Accountability, in order for the new Human Rights Bylaw, as an ICANN Core Value, to come into effect.

Much of this readily readable short document is about how a Human Rights Core Value will operate within the context of ICANN’s remit and ICANN’s processes. NPOC organizations may want to review the document with two purposes in mind.

• First, you may have comments with regard to what is proposed in the Framework of Interpretation, comments based on your own organization’s treatment of human rights.
  
• Second, there may be some ideas about Human Rights as a core value that your own organization might find useful in this proposed approach for ICANN. The document (in pdf, docx & doc) is attached.
