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?
