and next steps for ICANN constituencies/stakeholders regarding WSIS and
technical coordination and management of the DNS also will be discussed. "WSIS"
is a process in which governments are attempting to address a broad range of
international legal, regulatory, economic, and policy issues related to the
Internet. During this process, some governments proposed that an
intergovernmental organization be responsible for "Internet governance," a
phrase that remains undefined and some consider to include and/or mean the
administration and coordination of the DNS. </FONT></P>
