Indirect reference to the call by the Global Commission on Stability of Cyberspace (GCSC) for the protection of the Public Core of the Internet: https://cyberstability.org/research/call-to-protect/ GCSC defines the public core to include packet routing and forwarding (thus routing protocols), naming and numbering system (thus ICANN and IANA work), cryptographic mechanisms of security and identity (including DNSSec and similar protocols), and physical transmission media (including submarine cables): https://cyberstability.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Definition-of-the-Public-Core-of-the-Internet.pdf

Here, only a mention of 'general availibility and integrity of the Internet' was included, but this is a step forward. It is also mentioned in par. 26 under Norms, which is even more relevant.
