Nigel,

I was referring to the WP4 agreed text. I know you have issues with it. I also am not fully supportive of it. But it was reflective of the compromises reached in the group.

Thanks,

Brett

There is no agreed text.

You have very significant objections to the evisceration of ICANN's obligations from me and Eberhard Lisse as a start.

But I agree that 'protocols' play no part in it. What are they, in this context, anyway?

I come back to my original point which has been widely and studiously ignored.

If we do NOT refer to a lowest-common denominator baseline such as the UDHR, then a vague reference to 'human rights' could be used to include all sorts of things we don't mean, such as the right to water, or the right to internet access (both of which have been described as human rights).
