[ga] ITU Resolution 102 -- four years later

Dear all,

I have prepared a red-lined document comparing the old and
new version of Resolution 102:

 or http://www.icannchannel.de/res102-comp.htm (13 kB HTML/CSS)

The differences between the ITU Resolution 102 from the Minneapolis 
Plenipotentiary Conference 1998 and the Marrakesh 2002 version 
which Elisabeth Porteneuve forwarded are sometimes subtle, and 
sometimes not so subtle.

E.g. in the last sentence, when the Plenipotentiary now encourages 
member states' participation "in the management of Internet domain 
names and addresses" instead of participation "in the entities 
managing" them.

E.g. in the "emphasizing" section, the differentiation between
"technical and coordination tasks, for which technical private
bodies can be responsible" and "public interest matters" -- and
the latter include stability and security. 

Best regards,
/// Alexander
