[CCWG-ACCT] Human Rights

[León Felipe Sánchez Ambía]

Hi Nigel,

This will be an interesting discussion on our WS2 work plan.

I fail to see why or how ICANN would be obliged to develop such policies as ICANN is not an entity with (legal) powers to take down any kind of content. The only situation in which I see ICANN taking down a site, as opposed to a particular content within a website, is in case a Court ordered such take down which, in my mind at least, would be subject to different applicable norms in the context of international cooperation I think, and for that Court order to be escalated to ICANN level I would think it would need to be taken through the path of registrant-registrar-registry before even getting to ICANN but that is just an assumption, of course.


Best regards,


León
