</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>

Best,<br>
