It seems only reasonable that a body, such as the ITU, a body that has spent more than a century doing actual technical coordination of the telephone and telegraph systems, should be concerned that ICANN has utterly abandoned its responsibility to engage in the technical coordination of DNS and IP addresses.
The internet is running along full speed ahead but the no hand, much less ICANN's hand, on any of technical controls.
Because ICANN has abandoned its role of oversight the technical stability of the DNS is left to a few dedicated individuals who, despite the best of intentions, are mortal.
It is completely understandable why the ITU should want to step in and repair the vacuum of technical oversight created by ICANN.

The Next Phase - Route Filtering by IP Address
People running around in meat-space to the
ICANN and ISOC/IETF Road-Shows seem to be unaware
of what the average user is facing in dealing
with the naive end-to-end Internet architecture.
People seem to be **assuming** that the average
user (especially Joe American Consumer), is
going to be interested in seeing more spam,
viruses, and pop-ups from people and companies
both in and outside of the U.S. That is not
the case. That is not the consensus. People are
fed up with the liberal-academic-socialist
models of "please expose all of your systems
to a bunch of geeks to infect as they please."
The solution is of course going to be massive
walled-gardens. Filtering at the IP address
prefix-level is the only way to solve the major
problems. That of course is going to free up
a very large amount of 32-bit address space and
make it non-routable to-from the walled gardens.
In a strange "two negatives make a positive"
sort of way, this will help with the *perceived*
address shortage problem, which ICANN and the
RIRs use as a carrot in attracting players like
the ITU.
If the ITU plays any **active** role, it may
be as a publisher of the list of IP address
blocks that it has decided are NOT ROUTABLE.
In the old days, the RIRs claimed to tell people
what blocks were in use and routable. Now
people want to know what blocks to turn off.
It will be interesting if the ITU steps forward
and tells people that entire /8s are not
recommended to be routed. They can effectively
turn-off major regions of the world, that seem
to be major sources of problems. Some people
think that sort of filtering should be done
via the name-space, removing a ccTLD as example.
That does not work. The filtering has to happen
at the address-space level. ICANN does not
seem to have much interest in address-space
management. Most of the focus has been on names.
The ITU could play a very active role [along
with the FCC] in address space (spectrum)
management.
The average netizen's cable-TV-like-box is of
course the ideal place to do some of the
filtering. They will be happy it just happens
and may even pay for better protection. The
the netizens build better walled-gardens.
Many people in the ISOC grateful-dead-like
groupie tour-group are not going to like what
has become an essential next phase.
major companies are of course poised to help

.INFO advocates, aware of Vinton Cerf's claims
that 4-letter TLDs do not work, can now move
to the 2-letter Abbreviation TLD, .IN
Afilias, the facade company for the .INFO
Registry (other companies do the real work),
is also now running .IN
The ITU may try to claim that all 2-letter
TLDs fall under their management. Eventually,
all of the 2-letter TLDs will be taken, in
use.
Will the Abbreviation TLD for .TRAVEL be .TV ?

The ITU is sufficiently clued as to blog [itu.int] its activities. It is the height of absurdity to imagine ICANN doing likewise. It is likewise absurd that Paul Kane, Chair of CENTR, is the contact for numerous ccTLD's. As the contact under ICANN's rules is supposed to reside in a given ccTLD, Kane must have numerous residences. I have generally been a supporter of the idea that the ITU take on many of ICANN's functions, but this particular trial balloon needs to be shot down. I hope saner heads (like Richard Hill and Robert Shaw if they're still with the ITU, they dwarf anything ICANN has to offer) will prevail. -g

It looks like the ICANN Taliban are starting to
worry that their cash-cow and travel junkets[1]
could be in jeopardy. It is interesting to see
that the ISOC Taliban thinks they speak for the
"Internet". If there has been one bit of consensus
come from the ICANN Process or the ICANN Framework
it is that "the Internet Community" wants to get
as far away from ICANN and the Taliban as they
can [tm. TheyCANN]

"Internet to ITU: Stay Away from My Network"
"The backbone of the ITU's contention rests on the premise that something called the Next Generation Network and the contention that this network will act as one big bug fix for all the problems created by current inter-networking technology."
