[CCWG-ACCT] Question on human rights certification

[Gregory, Holly]

Dear all,

 Attached please find a memo from Sidley on the human rights issue that was largely drafted by Cam Kerry.
 (While Adler has given it a quick review, it is agreed that this is more within Sidley's area of expertise.)

Kind regards,  Holly and Cam

Subject: Question on human rights certification

Dear Holly, dear Rosemary,

This email is to certify the request for you to kindly answer the following question raised during the discussion on human rights in the general list.

1. What, if any, obligations towards human rights does ICANN currently have by virtue of it's status as a U.S. government contractor that would not exist as an independent entity?

As usual, the sooner we can have a reply, the better.

Best regards,


León
