Who do they think >would listen? Based on conversations with people at and since the ITU WSIS spam meeting in Geneva, the ITU has no interest whatsoever in taking over the IETF. They got burned on X.400 and they thoroughly understand both how hard it is to make data network standards and why it is not in their interest to do so for the TCP/IP world. They would like to stay in closer touch so that they can recommend to their government members that they implement relevant IETF standards and the like.
