Before we draft text, let's discuss the issue first.

Here is the w3c "oped" on it:

http://www.w3.org/QA/2013/05/perspectives_on_encrypted_medi.html

"Different publishers use the Web differently, some choosing to make
content available free of charge, others preferring to control access. Most
people would agree that individuals and institutions in general should have
the right to limit access to proprietary information, or charge for access
to content they own."

is the crucial bit here...is the CSIGC against folks limiting access to
stuff they own?

For the record, I am playing devil's advocate here, am not supporting any
position yet.
