This is not a proofreading issue.
It is a substantive issue. Please put the words that were agreed back in, as David suggests.
Unambiguous mission statement is important

DNS is already a starting reference point and there is a colon (:) after policies then you have item "a" which talks about security and/or stability.....

So it seem in order to me. Nevertheless the professional proof reader may want to have a look.

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?]
