[cc-humanrights] [Cc-humanrights3] Draft board human rights commitment / statement

[Matthew Shears]

Wasn't on the call but Tatiana I think is pointing the right way. They 
are two different things.  It seems to me that the commitment we need 
from the Board and perhaps the only one they might give at this stage 
until the FoI is undertaken is the commitment to the work in WS2.  It 
would be a little unusual for them to go further than that given they 
were already skeptical of the bylaw.  The second piece - ICANN's 
commitment to HR (not the Board's as it should be an organizational 
commitment) - would probably come as a result of the FoI.
