[CCWG-ACCT] Human rights as a core value Fwd: Re: [] Mission, Commitments and Core Values

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

This speaks of Human Rights impact within ICANN mission.

It does not expand the scope one time little bit.  It just saws that
within our scope we need to be aware of the impact of our policies and
actions on human rights.  And that when we see that we are injuring
those rights, we do something to fix it.
