The question is focused on DNS, but I think that our response 
should be broader.  I like most of Nurani's text, but I suggest 
editing to clarify that we are concerned with more than DNS 
stability.  It's also not clear whether "this critical element" 
means "the DNS" or "what the RIRs do".  I propose the following 
wording:

>>> • Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the 
>>> Internet DNS;

No changes are proposed in this document that affect the security, 
stability, and resiliency of the DNS.

This proposal is chiefly concerned with Internet number resources, 
which also need security, stability, and resiliency.  The 
existing operational and policy-making structures relating to 
management of the global Internet number resource pools have 
served the Internet community well over time, and the RIR 
communities have strongly expressed a desire for stability and 
operational continuity of this critical element of the Internet 
infrastructure.  Accordingly, this proposal suggests minimal 
changes to existing processes.
