Hi all,

I agree with Matthew. But I have a bit different interpretation from
Tatiana of the board comment. Because it seems like the board states
it will go ahead with a proposal for work on human rights at any rate
because they have committed themselves to that for Marakesh. I am
curious what they will come up with and then we can develop our
opinion, because for me it's quite unclear what they will propose and
how it will be developed.

At the same time I trust we will all be working hard in the CCWG to
have a human rights commitment in the bylaw. I think we need a
commitment in the bylaw, a human rights statement, a standard for
human rights impact assessment and a human rights policy, so I don't
think these processes are mutually exclusive.

All the best,

Niels
