+ 1 to supporting option (a) from me. I would go for the minimal bylaw text (ok, with /legal/ instruments in brackets if necessary). I certainly do not support the inclusion of the UN Guiding Principles in the proposed bylaw text even in brackets. We are summarising public comments, and (if I remember correctly) the only opinion there about guiding principles in the statement from Business Constituency that it doesn't support such a reference. Furthermore, even if we are going to include international human rights law instruments, UN Guiding principles won't be the case because they are neither treaty nor declaration. I doubt they can be characterized as "international human rights law". Last but not least, if we make such inclusion it's getting us too far from the second option of proposed bylaw text, which was supported in the public comments (7 of 23). I would rather suggest to add a paragraph about the poll results and say there that some of the WP4 member who answered the poll suggested to include the UN Guiding principles into the bylaw. We can discuss this issue further when we will be writing explanatory document to the bylaw text. Best regards Tatiana On 11/10/15 16:52, Avri Doria wrote:
a. do we send just the agreed upon minimal bylaws text? b. or do we also send all the bracketed text?
While I have been somewhat ambivalent on this issue, I think there is more support in both the WP and the larger group for minimal text in the bylaw. I would support option a.
