Windsor,

In response to your two questions here is brief comment. Chase me down 
if you want to dig deeper. /Is there any charter of human right and 
principles for the internet? /One way of thinking about this is to 
anchor any concept of human rights and the Internet within the framework 
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). I think this is 
where ICANN and human rights might go, holding ICANN responsible for its 
activities within its remit, but under the broadest of human rights 
umbrellas. Trying to design a specific declaration of Internet rights at 
the Internet (or ICANN) level would both be hard and have major down 
side risks.

Most abuses and denials of human rights occur at the national level. It 
might be more useful to look at the nexus between the Internet and human 
rights at the national level. For that you might look at the national 
positions on Internet rights in countries like Brazil and Estonia.

For: /How to coordinate with…/ various entities (Amnesty International, 
INTROPOL) that deal with abuses of human rights?, that again is a 
problem probably most effectively approached at the national level. Best 
to exercise pressure (internal and external) at the level of the state 
and multilateral collaboration, with pressure for transparency and 
accountability kept up by groups like Amnesty International, Human 
Rights Watch, etc. As for INTROPOL and other police functions, they are 
grounded in national law and multilateral collaboration, and ICANN 
should have no involvement at that level.
