Hi Peter,

I like the addition of the human rights report.

The separate mentioning of FoE and Privacy might be counterproductive
since we argued time and again in the CCWG that human rights are
indivisible, interrelated and interdependent.

Finally, I wouldn't differentiate between a human rights policy and
CSR. I propose we focus on human rights first, because that is
something that might seem attainable,

Let me know what you think.

Best,

Niels
