76.
Administration of the root zone files and root server system of the
domain name system (DNS)
• Define the institutional arrangements and the responsibilities and
relationships between the institutions that are required to guarantee
continuity of a stable and secure functioning of the root server system of the
DNS.
• Noting that the number of root servers cannot be increased to more than 13
due to protocol limitations, carry out a requirements analysis to determine
the appropriate evolution, including possible restructuring, of the
architecture to meet end-user requirements.
• Clarify the institutional arrangements needed to guarantee continuity of a
stable and secure functioning of the root system during and after a possible
period of governance reform.
77.
IP addressing
• Transition to IPv6 should ensure that allocation policies for IP addresses
provide equitable access to resources.
78.
Interconnection costs
• Invite international agencies and the donor community to intensify their
studies in this area, in particular to examine alternative solutions, such as
the development of regional IP backbones and the establishment of local and
regional access points.
• Call on the groups studying Internet governance issues to take note of the
WSIS Declaration of Principles, i.e., to be multilateral, transparent and
democratic and to have the capacity to address Internet governance in a
coordinated manner, based on a multi-stakeholder approach.
• Invite relevant international organizations to report on these matters to
whatever forum, body or mechanism(s) that the WSIS will create for issues
related to Internet governance and global coordination.
• Encourage donor programmes and other developmental financing
mechanisms to take note of the need to provide funding for initiatives that
advance connectivity, Internet exchange points (IXPs) and local content for
developing countries.
• Building on current international agreements, encourage interested parties to
continue and intensify work in relevant international organizations on
international Internet connectivity issues.

Internet stability, security and cybercrime
• Efforts should be made, in conjunction with all stakeholders, to create
arrangements and procedures between national law enforcement agencies
consistent with the appropriate protection of privacy, personal data and other
human rights.
• Governments, in cooperation with all stakeholders, should explore and
develop tools and mechanisms, including treaties and cooperation, to allow
for effective criminal investigation and prosecution of crimes committed in
cyberspace and against networks and technological resources, addressing the
problem of cross-border jurisdiction, regardless of the territory from which
the crime was committed and/or the location of the technological means
used, while respecting sovereignty.
