[council] WSIS draft declaration ... (domain names)
Hi!
I don't know if any follow the WSIS Process (http://www.itu.int/wsis), it's
the World Sumit for Information Society, in especial por the "Civil Society".
Well in the draft document from the Prepcom 2 (this days),
http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-s/md/03/wsispc2/td/030217/S03-WSISPC2-030217-TD-GEN-0002!!MSW-E.doc
you can read:
58 The responsibility for root directories and domain names should rest
with a suitable international [inter-governmental] organization and should
take multilingualism into consideration. Countries' top-level-domain-names
and Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment should be the sovereign right
of those countries. Internet governance should be multilateral, democratic
and transparent and should take into account the needs of the public and
private sectors as well as those of the civil society.
Well you can read and comment, this is a real problem.
In this meeting (prepcom2) the UN - ICT had a meeting to prepare the
agreement (i send a email about that a few days ago).
Regards
Erick
