Matthew,

The reason I did not do that is that I didn't really see anything particularly useful in that first document in terms of preparing a foundational/framework/explanatory/rationale document.  It seemed to be a mix of process summary and proclamation, neither of which were particularly on point.

Also since these started out as two different documents, I kept the distinction.

That said, this is in itself a process question.  So, if people want to combine the documents, that's not a particular problem.  Either way, we are at a starting point.

Hi

The only thing is we now seem to have two Google docs.  This is the one with the high level "statement" that already has comments in it:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15t32Y7DyzGCAR21XT9koN9y2hNK_nAifuNZGwaFfnlQ/edit

I would suggest that we add the text from the new google doc below into the one above so that we are working off one document.

Thanks.

Thanks for doing this.

As you correctly say, this is a starting point.

And the point of a starting point is that you need to start.

Rehearsing Dr Lisse once more: I regret that, I have a day job.

It's a reason -- but not an excuse -- for the fact I didn't do this yet. But also, I didn't wish to opine in a vacuum, so I find it really helpful to have the impetus of at least one person to engage with.

I think that given the recent pushback from the ICANN-the-corporation (i.e. the Board-staff axis) against the work of the accountability WG, that getting a commitment to incorporate a comittment to uphold H/F rights within ICANN's mission, is now not only important, but essential to permitting ICANN's to be released from NTIA's long dog-leash.

Sender's profile photoAll,

As mentioned on our last call, I've copied Nigel's initial starting
point for a framework or "briefing paper" related to a proposed Human
Rights bylaw amendment. At this point, I've made no changes to Nigel's
draft other than formatting. We should all feel free to add to this,
including by taking some of the useful dialogue in prior emails and
adding it to the document. I will try to do this shortly, but wanted to
get this out without further ado.
