"globalise key decision-making (for example the coordination of domain names and IP addresses) to safeguard the stability, security and resilience of the Internet"
Sounds like they want to make the internet a more centrally-controlled thing "to protect you better". Internet does not need any central oversight and regulation. People just need freedom to move their bytes around as cheap as possible. We are capable to figure out how to build secure schemes, encrypted channels etc on our own, completely voluntarily. Everyone is able to choose tools and protocols that suit them best.
