[CCWG-ACCT] Fwd: [Wp4] [] Variety of formulation for Human Rights bylaw that were made. - corrected

[Paul Twomey]

Leon

There was a dialogue on this list on 12-13 August, involving Nigel, 
Becky, Martin, Eberhard, Greg, Avri and myself,  pointing out the 
difficulties the Guiding Principles present for certain aspects of 
ICANN's commitments and work.   Putting forward the wording below 
appears to just ignore that dialogue.

I cannot support wording that says "support without reservation for the 
United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights"    I 
could support wording that says '"Hereby affirms its intent to develop 
by-laws and policy, drawing where appropriate on the United Nations 
Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, to give effect to human 
rights within its work, as defined by the mission of the Corporation."

Best

Paul
