Granted, I have not been active lately, but the last I knew specific references to any HR instrument or the UNGPs had been deemed outside of consensus. How does this keep coming back into the text? ________________________________ Brett Schaefer Jay Kingham Senior Research Fellow in International Regulatory Affairs Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE Washington, DC 20002 202-608-6097 heritage.org<http://heritage.org/> __________ On Aug 8, 2017, at 4:06 PM, Aikman-Scalese, Anne <AAikman@lrrc.com<mailto:AAikman@lrrc.com>> wrote: Personally, I agree with Niels that if ICANN.org<http://ICANN.org> decides by a vote of the Board of Directors to use Ruggie as an assessment tool and then presents those results to the SOs and ACs for further consideration in the policy development processes, that is fine. Don’t know whether the cost of such an assessment would create a budgetary issue. I also think we should be careful not to create possible liability or evidence that would be used to support action against the ICANN Board/organization. Anne E.
