So long as the 'applicable law' clause remains, ICANN will have NO legal
obligations to respect human rights, post transition, on a literal
construction.
Therefore the proposed addition, whilst harmless, is perfectly otiose.
There are many lawyers involved in proposing the 'applicable law' language.
I cannot believe you do not know that there is NO 'applicable law' once
ICANN is no longer an instrumentality of the state.
Otherwise please give an example of a single legal provision on human
rights that would fall under 'applicable law'.
Just one.
