[governance] CS STATEMENT V3: Statement

[Louis Pouzin]

You all cranked out an outstanding text. Bravo.

Dovetailing Carlos barb ( 09 Aug 2005 07:51:01 -0300) I would suggest the CS not buying blindly the Flat Earth religion (unique DNS root), notwithstanding its presently dominant distribution. Two parags are concerned:

as worded in WSIS_IGCAUCUS_WGIG_v3.doc:

48.  The acceptance of a single root for the DNS is an important enabler of the Internet's international reach. Governance arrangements for the root zone file should be outside the control of any individual government, and broadly acceptable to all stakeholders. If this issue is not addressed, it will lead to an increase in the number of alternative root structures that could impact negatively on the Internet's security, stability and interoperability.  Under the current addressing scheme, this could lead to the fragmentation of the Internet and the user community.

64. The caucus recognizes this position, and notwithstanding etc..

** suggested variants: **

48.  The acceptance of a single root for the DNS is often viewed as an important enabler of the Internet's international reach. Governance arrangements for the root zone file should be outside the control of any individual government, and broadly acceptable to all stakeholders. If this issue is not addressed, it may lead to an increase in the number of alternative root structures. On one hand that could impact negatively on the Internet's security, stability and interoperability.  On another hand, there is a demand for a diversity of directory services not available in the current structure. Hence the need for a broad analysis of predictable evolutions.

64. The caucus takes into consideration this position, and notwithstanding etc..

Cheers
