[CCWG-Accountability] Regarding current requirements around principles of international law

[Bruce Tonkin]

Hello All,

As Wolfgang Kleinwächter  noted during the meeting in Frankfurt today, there are already some provisions relating to international law in ICANN's Articles of Incorporation:  https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/articles-2012-02-25-en


"The Corporation shall operate for the benefit of the Internet community as a whole, carrying out its activities in conformity with relevant principles of international law and applicable international conventions and local law and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with these Articles and its Bylaws, through open and transparent processes that enable competition and open entry in Internet-related markets. To this effect, the Corporation shall cooperate as appropriate with relevant international organizations."


Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
