[cooperation-wg] Fwd: DNS4EU - community response draft

Dear all

Further to the RIPE NCC’s summary of the DNS4EU Open House discussion posted bellow,
and further to your witnessing of our our earlier transparent wordsmithing consultation with other Chairs ;), 
I’d like to propose the following high level statement draft for your consideration. 

Julf and myself, as Co-Chairs are in agreement and Achilleas had excused himself due to his role at the EC.
We’d like to know if there is some support from members for having a RIPE community response on this proposal?

We would really appreciate your feedback or any comments you’d wish to make.
Lastly we'd appreciate if the DNS WG Co-chairs would consider sharing this draft with their members too, since 
most of the DNS4EU discussion is taking place on that list.

Many thanks for your consideration and the feedback,


Desiree

Proposed DNS4EU RIPE community statement


RIPE community believes that governance of the DNS resolution chain, which is such an important element of everybody's Internet connectivity, should involve all stakeholders and can not solely rely on legislation and regulatory oversight.
RIPE Community hopes that any winning bidder will adhere to what we see as a fundamental property of the Internet, with a diverse and competitive landscape, anchored on the principles of multistakeholder Internet governance.

RIPE Community believes that the responsibility of well-functioning Internet access including the DNS resolution is with the access providers. We believe it should stay that way.

We understand that to be able to minimise some risks when the end user selects a random DNS resolver, a possible and feasible solution is to have the access provider run their local DNS resolvers and/or an additional DNS resolver as a back-up.

We hope that the EU could allocate DNS4EU funds to the local Internet community and encourage Internet access providers to run their local DNS resolvers. Additionally, the funds can be also used towards the development of open source software for better and affordable DNS resolution services.
