It might be useful to consider this question with regard to the specific roles 
undertaken in the name “ICANN”…   For example,  I could understand having
the “ICANN community” provide due consideration in the policy development
process to any potential issue raised with regard to human rights implications 
of a proposed policy; it’s less clear whether one wants “ICANN Global Domains 
Division” or ICANN’s PTI” weighing human rights issues during the policy 
implementation process.  It is fairly important to be clear about the desired 
outcome of any framework, since application would have very different 
implications when done with different portions of ICANN’s eclectic structure.
