Hi all,

Original text:

When examining its operations, ICANN the organization could also
consider instruments such as HRIAs to assess their impact on Human
Rights.  However, this is up to ICANN the organization to develop and
implement. The results of such HRIAs should be reflected in ICANN’s
annual reporting.

Text proposed by me on the call:

When examining its operations, ICANN the organization could consider
using a framework like the UNGPs as well as specific instruments such as
HRIAs to assess its impact on Human Rights, and offer remediation.
However, it is up to ICANN the organization to decide the most
appropriate framework and instrument to do this. The results of ICANN
the organization's analysis should be reflected in
ICANN’s annual reporting.

I am greatly looking forward to the suggestion of the drafting team.

Best,

Niels
