I'm not even going to make a list of what they are (you can look at hte Europan Union Charter at <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/justice/fundamental-rights/charter/index_en.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ec.europa.eu/justice/fundamental-rights/charter/index_en.htm</a>)<br>

But fair hearing and a right to private life are right in the middle of ICANN's work.<br>

What is absolutely unacceptable is anything weaker than.<br>

"Within its mission and in its operations, ICANN will be committed to respect, and ensure the respect of, fundamental human rights".<span class=""><br>

Hi Avri,<br>
<br>
In order to tie your suggestion directly to the language in Secretary Strickling's April 2014 written congressional testimony (included in a prior email) and to reduce concerns about scope creep, would language along these lines be acceptable to you?<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
"Within its mission and in its operations, ICANN will be committed to respect the fundamental human rights of the exercise of free expression and the free flow of information."<br>

Speaking personally, I could probably support this formulation. To be clear, I have not discussed this with the RySG, but it's consistent with the requirements outlined by NTIA so I think it's certainly worth considering.<br>
<br>
I'm not advocating including this in the Bylaws, but I'm not objecting to it either. However, if we don't reach consensus for adding to the Bylaws, I definitely think this is worth further consideration in WS2 and would support an explicit reference using this or similar language and timetable for doing so.<br>
<br>
