A question: given the insistence in the charter on lack of diversity as a key threat to resilience, do I take it well that this programme is meant to subsume the past discussions on centralization and consolidation of the Internet?

And a comment: this might indeed turn out as a set of parallel work threads at different layers of the stack, but since you explicitly mention DNS(OP) as an area of interest, and since another discussion just reminded me of it, I note that ICANN already has a long-standing committee (SSAC) discussing issues that threaten the stability of the DNS; perhaps other organizations also have other relevant groups. You could give some thought at how to recognize and involve them when appropriate.
