> 62b: We recognize that the time has come for a change in the political
> oversight of the logical Internet infrastructure. We do not recommend
> the creation of a new inter-governmental oversight organization for
> domain names and IP addresses. However, we do recommend the
> following changes with regard to ICANN be implemented within a reasonable
> time frame:
> 
> 1. The US Government recommits to handing over its pre-eminent role of
> stewardship in relation to ICANN and the DNS root.
> 
> 2. ICANN must ensure full and equal multi-stakeholder participation on
> its Board, and throughout its organizational structures of the community
> of Internet users, national governments, civil society, the technical
> community,
> business associations, non profit organizations and non-business
> organizations.
> 
> 3. ICANN must ensure that it establishes clear, transparent rules and
> procedures commensurate with international norms and principles for
> fair administrative decision-making to provide for predictable policy
> outcomes.
> 
> 4. There should be a process for extraordinary appeal of ICANN'S
> decisions in the form of an independent multi-stakeholder review
> commission invoked on a case-by-case basis.
> 
>  Note: Just to be clear, we are not calling for an inter-governmental
>            oversight structure, and we don't see an independent review
>           process as a path towards that direction.
> 
> 5. ICANN will negotiate an appropriate host country agreement to
> replace its California Incorporation, being careful to retain those
> aspects of its California Incorporation that enhance its accountability
> to the global Internet user community.
> 
> 6. ICANN's decisions, and any host country agreement, must be
> required to comply with public policy requirements negotiated through
> international treaties in regard to, inter alia, human rights treaties,
> privacy rights, gender agreements and trade rules.
> 
> 7. Governments,  individuals,  and international organizations,
> including NGOs, would  have the right and responsibility of bringing
> violations of these requirements  to the attention of ICANN and if
> satisfactory resolution cannot be reached  using ICANN internal processes,
> should have the right to invoke a binding appeals process.
> 
> 8. Once all of the above conditions are met, the US Government
> shall transfer the IANA function to ICANN.
> 
> 9. It is expected that the International multistakeholder community
> will take part in the process through participation in the ICANN process.
> It is also expected that the multistakeholder community will observe and
> comment on the progress made in this process through the proposed Forum.
