I do am not saying I know where the right balance point is on this issue, but I believe that other rights can be asserted in the assignment of names that may press on the absolute nature of free speech.  And I believe that these rights need to be properly balanced.  In do not know the proper balance in this area though I am pretty sure the GAC is pushing a bit too hard.  But I also think the solution may lie somewhere between the extremes.

One of the issues we, ICANN &c., keep running into, is that people are champions for a diverse set of one one right above the others.  That is why I think there is a desperate need at ICANN for a group that is able to do the deep thinking and advising that needs to be done on human rights issues. That is one of the reasons I have been working with others on Roy's  idea for a Human Rights Advisory Committee (HRAC), similar to the SSAC (stability and security advisory committee).  I have attached the current writeup for the idea.  I am hoping that we can discuss this the Human rights session to be held on Wednesday of ICANN week.  I have also atttached a copy of the flyer for that event.
