I agree with Paul that among the main questions for us to come up with a Frame of Interpretation of the Human Rights in the ICANN mission would be:
What substance we see in the phrase human rights inside ICANN Mission? When, if ever, ICANN should give that substance (whatever it may be) effect?
It might be useful to consider this question with regard to the specific roles undertaken in the name “ICANN”… For example, I could understand having the “ICANN community” provide due consideration in the policy development process to any potential issue raised with regard to human rights implications of a proposed policy; it’s less clear whether one wants “ICANN Global Domains Division” or ICANN’s PTI” weighing human rights issues during the policy implementation process. It is fairly important to be clear about the desired outcome of any framework, since application would have very different implications when done with different portions of ICANN’s eclectic structure. /John Disclaimer: my views alone.
