[ga] Motion # 1



WHEREAS the Internet Corporation for Assigned names and Numbers (ICANN) has
dramatically changed the initial terms of reference for ICANN, and is
proposing even further changes.

WHEREAS these proposed changes have met extensive opposition in the Internet
community and go even further from the original terms of reference.

WHEREAS a new open competition would allow the U.S. Department of Commerce
(the DoC) to consider both the ICANN Board proposal for restructuring, and
alternatives offered by others for managing key Internet resources, while
providing for a public record of the process for enhanced visibility.

WHEREAS the General Assembly of ICANN's Domain name Supporting Organization
(the DNSO) also reminds the DoC, that in the Green and the White Paper, the
Government of the United States made it clear that it intends to withdraw
from management of the Domain name System (the DNS).


It is hereby RESOLVED that:-

The General Assembly of the Domain name Supporting Organization of Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) asks the US Department of
Commerce to have an open competition for the services now provided by ICANN,
provided that the new competition would address the need to develop an
international framework for DNS management. An open competition should aim
to achieve comprehensive privatization and internationalization of DNS
services, consistent with the need for stability, but also innovation,
competition and freedom.
