I keep touch with the Department of State (DoS) delegation to the ITU. They appointed Benson to create the US position, so we know what that is. However, the information DoS has distributed includes the fact that ITU scope and responsibilities are under pressure. ITU is attempting to expand its scope to cyber security. There is much resistance, some of which manifests itself in recommendations to reduce ITU scope rather than increase it. Whether ITU should "own" UTC has been batted around outside of our concerns. Perhaps there is too much of greater significance on the plate for the WRC, and UTC will not be able to drain much deliberative energy.
