     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.
