[CCWG-ACCT] Board comments on Recommendation 6 - Human Rights

[Dr. Tatiana Tropina]

Dear Kavouss, dear Bruce,
well this day is just full of good news about human rights commitment. I
am sure many of the CCWG members are happy to hear that the board is
developing a resolution in addition to the bylaw text! Thanks for the
updates, Bruce.
If CCWG members (especially those who were a part of WP4 on human
rights) can be of any help for developing this wording together with the
board, I am sure some of us will volunteers for this. There are some
good examples of such commitments already adopted on practice (well,
they probably can't serve as a quick off the cuff solution because of
ICANN's unique mission and operations, but with some fine-tuning one can
develop something similar in spirit). I am sure ICANN will find a proper
wording.
Thanks again!
Best regards
Tatiana
