The actual version of the documents: (WSIS/PCIP/DT-1 refined through the intersessional mechanism and incorporating government contributions received before established deadline) 44. Management of Internet domain names and addresses: Internet governance must be multilateral, intergovernmental, democratic and transparent, supporting private sector-led industry self-regulation, taking into account the needs of the public and private sectors as well as those of the civil society, and respecting multilingualism. The coordination responsibility at the global level for root servers, domain names, and Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment should rest with [a suitable international, [inter-governmental/inter-governmental] organization/ a suitable international organization which represents and is accountable to all stakeholders, and which has clear mechanisms for governmental input on issues of public policy]. While the policy authority for country code top-level-domain names (ccTLDs) should be the sovereign right of countries. There should be appropriate coordination in an international forum on common ccTLD issues so as to ensure the stability of the domain name system. Internet naming and addressing is public issues.

[28] Good governance: With the active participation of all stakeholders, the development of an enabling environment should give due regard to the rights and obligations of all stakeholders in such areas as freedom of expression, consumer protection, privacy, security, intellectual property rights, labour standards, open-source solutions, management of Internet addresses and domain names while also maintaining economic incentives and ensuring trust and confidence for business activities. [33] Internet governance: To widen the participation of all stakeholders in the global bottom-up policy development and decision making processes, Task Forces on related public policy and technical issues (Root Server, Multilingual Domain Names, Internet Security, IPv6, ENUM, Domain Name Disputes etc.) could be established. Such inter-governmental Task Forces should promote awareness, distribute knowledge and produce reports which would help all stakeholders to get a better understanding of the issues and to cooperate with the relevant bodies like ICANN, IETF, RIRs, ccTLDs and others.

Una gestión transparente, multilateral y democrática de Internet debería ser la base del desarrollo de una cultura mundial de ciberseguridad. Una organización [internacional /intergubernamental] debería garantizar la gestión multilateral, democrática y transparente de los servidores de dominio de nivel superior, los nombres de dominio y la asignación de direcciones del Protocolo Internet (IP)75 Alternativa para el párrafo 33: La gestión de Internet debería ser multilateral y transparente, y debería tomar en consideración las necesidades del sector público, el sector privado y la sociedad civil, y respetar el plurilingüismo. Una organización competente debería encargarse de la coordinación de los servidores de nivel superior, los nombres de dominio y la asignación de direcciones del Protocolo Internet (IP) . 76 33 A. Internet es la base de la sociedad de la información. Internet debe ser considerado como un dominio público internacional. Todos los países y todas las personas tienen derecho a conectarse y beneficiarse de las ventajas de Internet. La gestión de los servidores de nivel superior, los nombres de dominio y las direcciones del Protocolo Internet debe confiarse a una organización internacional multilateral, democrática y transparente. Los países en desarrollo deben tener pleno acceso a los mecanismos de gestión de Internet. SECCIÓN II Contribuciones de los observadores al proyecto de Plan de Acción [25A] Privacidad: Es necesario: (...) -Deben llevarse a cabo estudios sobre la seguridad de la privacidad para todas las grandes tecnologías emergentes, como el IPV6 (Protocolo Internet versión 6). [28] Gobernanza eficaz: Contando con la participación activa de todos los interesados, al establecer un entorno habilitador se debe prestar la debida atención a los derechos y obligaciones de todos los interesados en esferas tales como la libertad de expresión, la protección del consumidor, la privacidad, la seguridad, los derechos de propiedad intelectual, las normas laborales, las soluciones de fuente abierta, la gestión de los nombres de dominio y direcciones Internet, manteniendo al mismo tiempo incentivos económicos y generando confianza en las actividades empresariales. [33] Gobernanza de Internet: para ampliar la participación de todos los interesados en el desarrollo global de políticas de abajo a arriba y en los procesos de toma de decisiones, podrían crearse Grupos de Tareas Especiales sobre las políticas públicas y las cuestiones técnicas conexas (servidor de dominio de nivel superior, nombres de dominio multilingües, seguridad de Internet, IPv6, ENUM, controversias sobre los nombres de dominio etc.). Dichos grupos de Tareas Especiales intergubernamentales deberían divulgar y compartir los conocimientos y realizar informes que ayuden a los interesados a comprender mejor estas cuestiones y a cooperar con los organismos pertinentes como la ICANN, el IETF, los registros regionales de Internet, los ccTLD, entre otros.
