Hi all,

As questions I propose:

- Will the ICANN board make a human rights statement as it proposed in
its comment to the 3rd CCWG Accountability Draft Report ?

- How does the board envision a process for the development of a human
rights policy for ICANN ?

- Will there be dedicated ICANN staff working on the development of a
human rights policy who could also function as a vocal point on human
rights?

Best,

Niels
