Public draft, later proposals/submission are made available to ITU subscribers: http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Documents/draft-future-itrs-public.pdf You find various proposals to the extent that ITU-T recommendations gain momentum, ICANN competences are taken over etc. In diplomatic phrasing. The proposed changes to ITRs Article 5a are a very good exercise for you to learn decypher diplomatic code. It's not about what gets threatened by the tiger specifically but that a tiger is set free: you may raise multiple issues depending on your constituency / interests but it's fundamental: governance. A competence extention of the ITU to the internet. Various members object proposed changes tabled for Dubai Dec 2012 WCIT, but difficult to say to what extent. http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/overview.aspx If you want a populist formula (no lamp shades though): a takeover of the internet by its very enemies. In more polite phrasing: http://www.cio.com/article/719857/Experts_Internet_businesses_should_pay_attention_to_ITU_meeting. Half a decade ago the ITU-T was hijacked to endorse an alternate "open standards" definition (http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/ipr/Pages/open.aspx). The ITU-T open standards definition alone renders it inappropriate to let ITU-T recommendations apply to the internet. Better keep a tiger in its cage.
