[CCWG-ACCT] An Inadvertent Omission in Annex 5 - Mission Statement

[David Post]

I believe that some (important) words have been inadvertently omitted 
from the Mission Statement in Annex 5.  It currently reads:

ICANN's Mission, "in  its role of coordinat[ing] the allocation and 
assignment of names in the root zone of the Domain Name System ("DNS")," is to
"coordinate the development and implementation of policies:
[a] For which uniform or coordinated resolution is reasonably 
necessary to facilitate the openness, interoperability, resilience, 
security and/or stability; and
[b] That are developed through a bottom-up, consensus-based 
multi-stakeholder process and designed to ensure the stable and 
secure operation of the Internet's unique names systems."

I believe that the words "of the DNS" should follow "security and/or 
stability" .... That's correct, no? [otherwise it doesn't make sense 
-- the "openness" etc. of what?]
