[cc-humanrights] [Cc-humanrights3] Draft board human rights commitment

[Kimpián Péter]

Dear Nils, dear All,

Thank you for the text, I can only support it. I have also some suggestion
to be considered, maybe it's too ambitious at this stage, but I think it
would be worth to consider:

The board of ICANN commits to take concrete steps to operationalize its core
value of respecting human rights within ICANN's mission. The steps will
include working together with the community to understand the potential
human rights impacts of its operations through a human rights impact
assessment, ***a Human Right Report***, engagement of the board, management,
staff and stakeholders toward a common understanding of priority human
rights issues *** which are freedom of expression and privacy, while keeping
in mind other applicable rights from international human rights
conventions*** and putting in place a human rights policy ***as well as a
corporate social responsibility policy *** to address the priority issues.

Sorry I couldn't highlight the new parts therefore I put *** before and
after. 

Thanks again and best regards!

Peter

Hello all,

Motoko, Tatiana and I worked on a suggestion for a board human rights
commitment as discussed during todays call. Please let me know if you have
any comments:


The board of ICANN commits to take concrete steps to operationalize its core
value of respecting human rights within ICANN's mission. The steps will
include working together with the community to understand the potential
human rights impacts of its operations through a human rights impact
assessment, a Human Right Report, engagement of the board, management, staff
and stakeholders toward a common understanding of priority human rights
issues which are freedom of expression and privacy, while keeping in mind
other applicable rights from international human rights conventions  and
putting in place a human rights policy as well as a corporate social
responsability policy to address the priority issues.


Best,

Niels
