STATEMENT OF SUPPORT TO THE PROCESS OF THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE ICANN
The ICANN is a worldwide effort to build a better and bigger internet
for the global comunity. At the same time, ICANN is the change to a
new administration in charge of the private sector, this according with
the 1977 statement of the Goverment of the United States trough his
president Bill Clinton and it was suported by a long a sustained
promotion done by the VicePresident Al Gore. This efforts became a
reality with the born of the document known as the "White Paper".
During 1998 this iniciatives became the biggest foro of discussion in
a world wide basis made for the discussion of the future and evolution
of the Internet: The "International Forum for the discussion of the
White Paper" or IFWP for shortness.
On October 1998, as a result from the IFWP process, the ICANN (Internet
Corporation for the Assigned Names and Numbers) is born. ICANN es the
global entity who has the responability to manage the Intenet's root
infraestructure and promote the world development of the Internet as
a social, comercial and cultural tool.
AXISNET has participated from the beggining of the process of the IFWP,
and its commitment with the process has been shown trough documents,
translations and direct participation in many events all around the world.
In the same way AXISNET has given support to the presence of members of
the latinamerican Internet Comunity in the IRAC (ICANN's Internal Review
Advisory Committe), DNSO NC, and other bodies and constituencies
related to the building and evolution of the ICANN.
AXISNET is a founding member of the Federation of Latinamerica and the
Caribe for the Internet and Electronic Commerce - eCOMLAC and as such
it brings the interest of the users of the area to this and other
international forums.
The ICANN, on its resolutions of November 5, 1999, start a electionary
process to nominate the Directors that will represent the Global Comunity
of Users of the Internet (know as At Large Membership). This 9 Directors
will ocupy a seat at side with the other 9 directors nominated by the
ICANN's Supporting Organizations. To reach this goal, ICANN has
indicated that:
- There is budget for the outreach of the process in a world wide level.
- There is a budget for translation of documents and web forms to
the main languages.
- That there is a search for all the help that can be obtained to the
fullfillment of this functions.
AXISNET believes that the participation of the biggest number of members
of the whole Internet Community is the best guaranty that the ICANN
process will grow inside transparent and democratic rules that will be
a guaranty of the fair representativeness of the different interest
that are in the internet in these days.
According with our history of support and participation in the IFWP
and the born of the ICANN, and in front of the beginning of the start
of the process to elect the Global Comunity Directors (At Large Directors)
that will represent individual users on the ICANN Board of Directors,
the AXISNET Board of Directors has took the next resolutions:
- SUPPORT all the efforts of the ICANN's Board of Directors to do
the election process of the Directors that will
represent the World Wide Internet Comunity of Individual Users
inside the ICANN's Board of Directors.
- TRANSLATE to the spanish language all the ICANN's official documents
and web pages and forms related to the electionary process;
the same translation work will be done with the documents or
web pages that will promote the enrollment of individuals as
members to reach the minimum goal of 5,000 registered users
that will became the minimum number of the individual
members of the ICANN. In the same way translate all the
documents related with the on line election.
- PROMOTE in a nacional level the subscripcion of the biggest number
of Peruvian Internet Users located in Peru. As a reference
this number is estimated in 400,000 people. From our
efforts and the efforts of other institutions
will come that:
The voice of these 400,0000 peruvians will be listened
trough their direct vote in the election of the members of
the "Global Comunity Council" (At Large Council) and
that the elected representants represent with honesty the
feelings and thought of their electors.
That the peruvian Internet Community that will participate
in the process nominate their candidates to be elected
as Directors and that this proportion be carefully
followed by the Council Members as a foundation base for the
development of their criteria in the election of the Directors.
- INVITE to other peruvian entities and organizations, related to
Telecomunications and Internet to promote all the
related with the electionary process. This could be done
mirroring the information on the AXISNET web site or
developing its own documents and information.
- COORDINATE, in Latin American and the whole word with organizations
that are related to us to call them for
support for the promotion and direct colaboration to build
the most wide, transparent and democratic elections
that we can develop inside the time and the norms that ICANN
has established.
