[Wp4] WP4 Deliverable: Elaborating an ICANN Commitment to Human RIghts

[Schaefer, Brett]

Greg, Niels, Tatiana, and Matthew,



I know this was a quick turn around, but you did an excellent job!



I will note that the section on mentioning specific human rights is questionable. "One cannot selectively mention, emphasize or apply human rights because they are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated"? I know the UN says this, but reality says otherwise. My quibble aside, well done.



Best,



Brett

Subject: [Wp4] WP4 Deliverable: Elaborating an ICANN Commitment to Human RIghts

All:

Attached are Word and PDF versions of a proposed final draft of the deliverable of WP4, which is intended to become part of the next Report of the CCWG.

Niels and Tatiana and Matt went through the document after our call and edited and resolved the proposed changes in the document.  I followed with further edits and formatting work.  I believe that all of us sought to be neutral rapporteurs carrying out the sense of today's call and the work of our group.

I felt that we needed a section which specifically set out the process and results of our discussions on refining the language of the Bylaw, rather than leaving this to our recommendations in the final section of the document.  Therefore, I took the liberty of creating such a section, and hope that you will find that this section reflects our work.

This document also remains available on Google Drive.

I look forward to any comments.

Best regards,

Greg
