Hi all,<br>
<br>
I would like to thank the co-chairs for their suggestion at the end of<br>
yesterdays call. Please allow me to make some suggestions to the languag<br>

<br>
***<br>
<br>
In their comment to the 3rd CCWG draft report the ICANN Board has<br>
<span class="">raised concerns that the proposed inclusion of language in the bylaws<br>
with respect to human rights might lead to an increased risk of ICANN<br>
being exposed to legal claims or even law suits.<br>
<br>
We would appreciate if you could provide us with a brief assessment<br>
</span>whether the inclusion of these bylaws would increase the risk of ICANN<br>
being exposed to legal claims or even law suits vis a vis the current<br>
situation (taking into account the existing obligations under article<br>
4 of ICANNs articles of incorporation), and if so, how such risk could<br>
be mitigated.<br>
<br>
***<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Niels<br>
