1 No
2 No
3 - my read is if one answers 1 and 2 with No then 3 is irrelevant.   I 
note that some others have, however, put in the UN Guiding Principles on 
Business and Human Rights for 3 even thought they have said no to 1 and 2.
I repeat my objection to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human 
Rights because of the sections which would make ICANN responsible for 
the Human Rights actions of its associated parties (in ICANN's case I 
can see this being applied to the actions of ccTLDS in authoritarian 
countries).
