[gtld-council] Recommendation 6: Text from small group discussion
Colleagues The discussion about Recommendation 6 continued in a small group call (with members from each constituency) this evening. The first formulation has the support of most and this language will be taken into the Committee meeting tomorrow afternoon. Formulation One Strings must not be contrary to generally accepted legal norms relating to morality and public order that are recognized under international principles of law. Examples of such principles of law include, but are not limited to, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, intellectual property treaties administered by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). This formulation is supported by the ISP, BC, IPC & Jon Bing. The RyC representative dropped off the call but I have sent a note to David Maher and Chuck Gomes asking for their specific answer to this question. The Registrar Constituency will provide commentary on the whole package of recommendations. Formulation Two Strings must not be contrary to generally accepted and internationally recognized principles of law. NCUC supported this formulation and, on the basis of the support for the Formulation One language, will be submitting a minority report. Avri Doria didn't support either formulation and will be submitting a personal statement. An invitation has been extended to the ALAC representative, Alan Greenberg, to submit a personal statement. Kind regards and thanks for your ongoing assistance. Liz .....................................................
