      <p class="MsoNormal">Just to give one example, let us look at
        ccTLD operators.
        ICANN does have a range of agreements within around 86 ccTLD
        operators, (See: <a
          href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/cctlds/cctlds-en">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/cctlds/cctlds-en</a>)
        I do not think we intend to establish wording which would result
        in dissident
        groups from various countries going to a US court arguing that
        ICANN is in
        breach of its bylaws by having an explicit or implied agreement
        with a ccTLD
        operator recognized as part of the IANA process, especially
        where the
        dissident group alleges that the ccTLD operator is breaching
        human rights by
        following its government’s instructions on registrations.   You
        can
        think of several examples where this may happen.<span
          style="mso-spacerun:
          yes">     </span>Having the sections above applying to
        ICANN (even where it operates as a business) would put at risk
        ICANN’s ability
        to be a global coordinator as per its mission.<span

        definition, it
        has to be able to serve every ccTLD.</p>
      <p class="MsoNormal"><br>
      </p>
      <p class="MsoNormal">Furthermore, any court or other group
        thinking that ICANN should under principle 15 take action to
        remediate the adverse human rights impact would have to consider
        ICANN breaking off links with that ccTLD.  Which brings me back
        to my global coordinator challenge.<br>

          <br>
          I have to say that I agree with Greg on this.   My
          interventions on the HR working group have consistently
          focused on the ability of ICANN to operate its IANA and other
          technical functions under policy and/or numerous agreements
          with numerous technical bodies (such as ccTLD operators, Root
          Zone operators etc) in support of a global, interoperable
          Internet.   The wording you propose would in my view put this
          at risk - as I have point several times over the last years
          the Rugge Principles, especially as those principles which
          apply to supply chains and contractors, are well suited to a
          mining company which can decide whether or not to do business
          in certain circumstance in certain countries.   ICANN does not
          have that luxury.   It is charged with supporting a Global
          Internet and hence has to be able to deal with every relevant
          ccTLD operator, Root Zone Operator, RIR etc, many of which it
          has agreements.    In that sense ICANN is not like a private
          company at all.<br>
