We keep talking about the "ITU" as though it were a coherent decision
making enterprise.  After my visit there last week, I am convinced that
it is not.  The decisions are made by Working Parties and Study Groups
and confirmed by Radio Assemblies leading to final approval by the WRC.
The ITU only administers these bodies.  As an entity, it has no
authority or ability to influence outcomes.  The ITU is "furniture."
The influence comes from the butts in the seats.
