<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#7030A0">This is not the place for a wider discussion, but it is worth remembering that freedom of expression is at the core of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and
that ICANN has not really taken a position regarding a commitment to adhere to the principles of the UNHR in its work within its remit. ICANN did have a bit of a “skunk works on Human Rights” when stakeholder groups ran a Working Party (not Working Group)
episode discussing Human Rights within the ICANN remit, There may be growing pressure for ICANN to be more declarative in this area going forward, Just a thought!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

gTLD other than those restricted based on technical standards, pre-established reserved name lists, and other restrictions detailed in the AGB. Applicants should be mindful of limitations to free expression [hyperlink to LPI section] when submitting an application
as detailed in the AGB. Applications are subject to an evaluation and objection process [hyperlink] as described in the AGB and will be unsuccessful should an applied-for string be found to violate<br>
applicable laws or other rights and requirements specified in the AGB. The evaluation of applications, including decisions on objections, will be performed by independent third party vendors who will take into account freedom of expression considerations together
with other relevant factors. Please see the relevant sections of this guidebook for more information on the evaluation [hyperlink] and dispute resolution process. [hyperlink]."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
