   The General Assembly of the DNSO resolves to express its support
   for the immediate acknowledgement of an Individuals' Constituency
   (a constituency of Individual Domain Name holders) by the ICANN
   Board in accordance with its Bylaws. The General Assembly of the
   DNSO recommends to the ICANN Board that it place either the creation
   of such an Individuals' Constituency or the "approval in principle"
   on its agenda for a decision at the Stockholm plenary session.
   
   Motion "to fund the DNSO and all other ICANN Supporting Organizations"

   The General Assembly of the DNSO hereby petitions the ICANN Board

   Supporting Organizations (all monies donated to be allocated
   and disbursed from ICANN central accounts). The General Assembly
   of the DNSO further asks for formal inclusion in the overall
   ICANN Budgetary process.
