[ga] RESOLUTION. Final text and list of supporters

[Alexander Svensson <alexander@svensson.de>]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Whereas there are certain basic principles which have to be honored
        by an entity coordinating key Internet resources in order to 
        gain the trust of the Internet community,

Whereas these principles include transparent process, broad input into 
        policy-making, which must include meaningful individual 
        and non-commercial participation, and accountability (including 
        independent review of decisions),

Whereas there is a widespread perception that ICANN is moving away 
        from these principles, in particular by stalling or abandoning 
        processes for the implementation of an independent review 
        system and for participation of the Internet community at 
        large in ICANN oversight,

the General Assembly of the DNSO reminds the ICANN Board that it must
adhere to these principles in any reform proposal and make it 
sufficiently known how proposed reforms provide improvements regarding
these principles. Should the ICANN reform process fail to provide 
significant improvements in these regards, it is the international 
Internet community's and governments' task to consider how all of or 
parts of ICANN's responsibilities could be transferred smoothly to one 
or more new or existing organizations which are accountable to the 
international Internet community as a whole, have clearly defined 
missions and are not only under the sole control of a national 
department of commerce, without endangering the stability of the DNS 
or the Internet as a whole. In the meantime, all groups of the Internet 
community are   called to deliver their input on reforms needed.

/// Alexander
