[Ws2-hr] Suggested revision from drafting team

[Jorge.Cancio at bakom.admin.ch]

Dear all,

may I kindly request clarification this addition tries to address the comments made by three Governments during the public comment period? - I thought that the intention of this exercise was to find some compromise text bridging the gap to the positions expressed in the mentioned governmental inputs.

Could you please help?

Regards

Jorge

Betreff: [Ws2-hr] Suggested revision from drafting team

Hi Niels,

The drafting team (Anne, Tatiana, Greg, Matthew, and I) suggests this text below.

However, note that Anne has not yet given final approval of this text and thus may differ.

Given the desire to get text out for consideration and the earliness of the hour in Anne’s time-zone we felt we should send the text now, subject to that one notation.

SUGGESTED TEXT:
"3.1 When examining its internal operations, ICANN the organization could, if it so chooses, consider using a mechanism to assess its impact on Human Rights. Whether and, if so, what mechanism to choose is solely up to ICANN the organization to decide. No such assessment should directly or indirectly impact gTLD policy formation or execution without being fully consistent with existing processes and protocols.  The results of the organization's analysis should be reflected in its annual reporting"
Best regards,
David
