During the transition, the stability of the [[Internet]] should be the first priority and a comprehensive security strategy should be developed. To further enhance the stability of the [[Internet]], the White Paper identified the need to formalize the traditionally informal relationships among the parties involved in running the [[domain name system]]. The White Paper pointed out that many commercial interests, staking their future on the successful growth of the [[Internet]], were calling for a more formal and robust management structure. |

| − | * '''Competition:''' Where possible, market mechanisms that support competition and consumer choice should drive the management of the [[Internet]] because they will lower costs, promote [[innovation]], encourage diversity, and enhance user choice and satisfaction. |

| − | * '''Representation:''' The development of sound, fair, and widely accepted policies for the management of the [[domain name system]] will depend on input from the broad and growing community of [[Internet user]]s. Management structures should reflect the functional and geographic diversity of the [[Internet]] and its [[user]]s. |
||

The private process should, as far as possible, reflect the bottom-up governance that has characterized development of the [[Internet]] to date. |
