>
>Action Item 1:
>To ensure full participation of all partners of Information Society in a
>substantial
>manner in identifying challenges of global nature of Information Society and
>in sharing collective global actions to form better Information Society,
>Sub-Committee 2 should consider more time slots for civil society and

>
>Principle 2. Globally Shared Responsibility of Root-Server management
>
>Internet Governance Caucus shares the key principle expressed in the section
>58 from the declaration dated as of February 25th,
>
>"The responsibility for root directories and domain names should rest with a
>suitable international organization and should take multilingualism into
>consideration Countries' top-level-domain-names"
>
>Based on the key principle expressed, Internet Governance Caucus proposes
>several related action items for your consideration.
>
>Action Item 2:
>Sub-Committee 2 of WSIS, in consultation with Civil Society Plenary and
>ICANN, sets up "Root Server Task Force" to enhance regular communication
>with the "Root Server Advisory Committee" in the ICANN who is in charge of
>the global Root Server management. The Root Server Task Force is to be
>composed of multi-stakeholders from the civil society groups, private
>sectors
>and the governments respecting geographically diversified representation.
>
>Action Item 3:
>Sub-Committee 2 of WSIS, in consultation with Civil Society Plenary and
>ICANN, sets up "Multilingual TLD Task Force" to facilitate regular
>communication with IETF, IAB, Root Server Advisory Committee and
>other grass-roots efforts. The Multilingual Task Force is to be composed of

>
>On the other hand, we have some reservation in the same section.
>We understand the current Internet Protocol(IP) Address assignment
>has been operated beyond sovereign right therefore, the brackets
>should be made for Internet Protocol(IP) address assignment. We also
>suggest the same sentence should add "Internet Communities in"
>in front of those countries. Therefore, the sentence can be read as follows;
>
>Countries' top level domain names [and Internet Protocol(IP) address
>assignment ] should be the sovereign right of the government and
>the Internet Communities in those countries.
>
>Principle 3. Democratic and transparent Internet Governance
>
>Internet Governance caucus of Civil Society Groups would like to
>emphasize the democratic and transparent Internet Governance
>principle elaborated in the section 58 from the declaration dated

>and should take into account the needs of the public and private
>sectors as well as those of the civil society."

>Sub-Committee 2 of WSIS is expected to consult with Civil Society
>Plenary, ICANN and its regional At-Large organizations and/or At-Large
>Advisory Committee which explore At-Large participation in the

>Task Force". The At-Large Participation Task Force is to be composed of
>multi-stakeholders from the civil society groups, private sectors and the
>governments as advisory status respecting geographically diversified
>representation.
>
>Lastly, Internet Governance Caucus of Civil Society Groups, strongly
>urge you to consider three additional principles. First, the principle of
>stability and security of the Internet, the second, the principle of free
>and fair accessibility to Internet resources such as domain names and
>IP addresses and the third, bottom-up policy development both for
>technical and public policy issues through at-large participation.
