</span>Thanks Marilia. Do you think it would also make sense to draft a<br>
public comment to the CCWG report by suggesting concrete text? Or<br>
would the best workflow be to work on this in the subgroup? Has the<br>
subgroup already been formed? Do you know when they should finish and<br>
whether people from this list, who are not participating in the CCWG,<br>
can join?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

> Elaborating an Icann Commitment to Human Rights<br>
><br>
> The CCWG-Accountability extensively discussed the opportunity to<br>
> include into Icann Bylaws a Comittment related to Human Rights. The<br>
> group commissioned a legal analysis of whether the termination of<br>
> the IANA contract would induce changes into Icann's obligations<br>
> with regards to Human Rights (LINK). While no significant issue was<br>
> found to be directly linked to the termination of the IANA<br>
> contract, the group acknowledged the recurring debates around the<br>
> nature of Icann's accountability towards the respect of fundamental<br>
> human rights.<br>
><br>
> These discussions identified the following, non-exhaustive, list<br>
</span>> of accountability-related requirements : - the NTIA criteria to<br>
<span class="">> maintain the openness of the Internet, including free expression<br>
</span>> and the free flow of information - the need to avoid extending<br>
> Icann's mission into content regulation - the importance of<br>
<span class="">> assessing the impact of Icann policies on Human righ ts<br>
><br>
> Examples of language that could serve as a Commitment were as<br>
</span>> follows : - Within its mission and in its operations, ICANN will be<br>
<span class="">> committed to respect the fundamental human rights of the exercise<br>
</span>> of free expression and the free flow of information. - Within its<br>
<span class="">> mission and in it operations, ICANN will be committed to respect<br>
> internationally recognized fundamental human rights.<br>
><br>
> The group has achieved consensus on including a human rights<br>
> related Commitment in Icann's Bylaws. However no particular wording<br>
> currently proposed achieved consensus. Reiterating its commitment<br>
> to elaborate concrete proposals as part of its mandate, the<br>
> CCWG-Accountability is calling for comments on this approach and<br>
> the underlying requirements.<br>
