<div><br>
</div>
<div>HRC resolutions are non-binding, relying on states to follow up through their actions. A HRC endorsement, unanimous or otherwise, does not create legal obligations for states or ICANN.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The UNGP are similar in that they are voluntary on businesses except where applicable laws have been enacted by states binding businesses in their jurisdiction. This concept is already amply expressed in the consensus text.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, I think Greg is being too generous in offering you further compromise after the group had arrived at broad consensus. But instead of accepting his olive branch, you continue to insist on further changes in your direction. Apparently, you believe
 we should not proceed until your position triumphs. How is that in anyway compromise?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif">I'm not sure where this stands procedurally, as we are between first and second readings of the Human Rights Subgroup's report.&nbsp; Putting that concern aside, I thought it could be fruitful to
 respond to this proposal in the same spirit of compromise.&nbsp; If an acceptable resolution can be found, that would presumably resolve the &quot;dissent&quot; in the Subgroup Report, allowing the CCWG Draft Report to be circulated for public comment without a minority

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif">In considering this proposal, I believe that Jorge's suggested language would fit much more naturally into the section of the &quot;Considerations&quot; text where the Ruggie Principles are already discussed.&nbsp;
 That would avoid the appearance of contradictions between the FoI and the Considerations, and/or the need to insert qualifiers into the FoI to resolve any apparent contradictions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif">Therefore, I suggest that a revision to the Report, by taking Jorge's second sentence (slightly revised and rearranged) and placing it in this section of the Considerations text, where it will
 be read in the context of the existing Ruggie discussion.&nbsp; In this context, the first sentence (which is not really substantive) is no longer necessary.&nbsp; The revision would read as follows (new text in red).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I have to say that I agree with Greg on this.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp; ICANN does not have that luxury.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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. &nbsp;&nbsp; In that sense ICANN is not like a private company at all.<br>

 showed the existence of two schools of thought: some that favored maintaining the text sent to public comment “as is” (ALAC to a certain extent, and a number of different GNSO constituencies) and those (UK, BRZ, and CH) proposing some steps forward, especially
 in the recognition of the UN Guiding Principles (Ruggie Principles). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

 result, which would have reflected at least some if not all of the positions and proposals made by the named Governments. This relates in particular,
<u>that the FOI text should make stronger reference to the UN Guiding Principles as the most relevant voluntary international standard</u>. In our view, the Subgroup did not undertake an inclusive enough effort to determine if a compromise text could be formulated
 that would accommodate this position of the three governments.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
