[council] WSIS draft declaration ... (domain names)

[Erick Iriarte Ahon <faia@amauta.rcp.net.pe>]

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
