<p dir="ltr">I tend to support the Twoney view as stated..<br>
I do not particularly like the ' without reservation' as that locks us into a UN mandated view of what the internet is.<br>

There was a dialogue on this list on 12-13 August, involving
Nigel, Becky, Martin, Eberhard, Greg, Avri and myself, pointing
out the difficulties the Guiding Principles present for certain
aspects of ICANN's commitments and work. Putting forward the
wording below appears to just ignore that dialogue.<br>
<br>
I cannot support wording that says "support without reservation
for the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights" I could support wording that says '"Hereby affirms its
intent to develop by-laws and policy, drawing where appropriate on
the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights, to give effect to human rights within its work, as defined
by the mission of the Corporation."<br>
