But using the phrase "to faciltate THE openness," -- as though I were to say "my job is to facilitate the openness ..." - doesn't make sense without answering "the openness of what?" I think we're all in agreement that it's the openness, stabiity, etc. of the DNS. So we should say that directly, adding the words "of the DNS" at the end.
