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.<br>

<div>Dear Niels, dear all,</div>
<div>after reading this short email exchange with Michele, I
realised that may be we have to be clearer when we send the
proposed wording of the statement to the board. I suggest
inclusion of the explanation "what it means".</div>
<div>Furthermore, after the call yesterday I am still not
convinced that we can be sure that the board wants to go
further than the language provided in the bylaw. I can suggest
as an alternative solution that we send two proposed
statements: (1) the one we discussed on the call and which is
based on the bylaw (2) the statement on operationalisation and
assessment that we drafted after the call. </div>
<div>In this case, depending on what was the notion behind
making this statement, the board can either chose one of them
or draft a combination of two.</div>
<div>What do you think?</div>
<div>Cheers</div>

</span>Hi Michele,<br>
<br>
This statement means that the ICANN board will:<br>
<br>
1. operationalize it's commitment to human rights<br>
2. contribute to a Human Rights Impact Assessment with the
community<br>
of stakeholders<br>
3. contribute to the development of a Human Rights Policy
with the<br>
community of stakeholders<br>
4. work on a process for remediation.<br>
<br>
Does this make it more clear? If not, can you make your
question a bit<br>
more precise?<br>
