The ITU is a UN body, so is WIPO (a part of WTO).
If WIPO hadn't made some controversial decisions, I would suggest handing
over the root-servers to them. They are, AFAIK, the only truly
international organization.
But that only shifts the problem. The UN is also not an elected body, or at
least, it takes several levels of elections to reach them.

Until it becomes a Bad Thing, at which point it's impossible to change until
it decides it wants to change itself.
A tremendous number of people in the list seem to think it's a valid
topic with operational impact.
Why do you feel it appropriate to go against their wishes?
Another large group of people think that this is an inappropriate
topic for this list. Please move this subject to another list.

Procmail filters? Repeated use of the delete key?
If you don't want to read, you don't have to. A lot of us do feel that
this has operational impact, and will continue to discuss the topic long
after its death.

I suppose Susan could kick half of the list's members out, if she think's
that's productive.
Haven't we all repeated the various positions to death? I don't think any
minds are going to change at this point. Susan has a point, let's drop it
- or at least take it to a venue where some policy might really be made
(like the various DNSO lists).

Randy, why do you always feel the need to inform the list that you've
edited your procmail config again?
Next thing you know you're going to be running a weekly cron job that
cats your .procmailrc | mail -s "Look at me\! Look at me\!" nanog@merit.edu.
