[governance] alternate distribution master (was Senseof theSenate Resolution)

[Lee McKnight]

I'll second Patrick's statement, from hanging some not too long ago with
Scott Bradner who plays an ISOC/IETF liaison role w ITU, my impression
is the standards arena seems to have largely moved past the earlier
friction - now there's just these minor polticial issues to deal with :

You are right. 

<speaking with my ISOC hat> I would not depict the relation of
ISOC/IETF
and ITU as one of competition. There are regular contacts between both
orgs, in an effort  to coordinate the development of new standards.
Obviously,  we have some significant differences in opinion in the
governance area, but on the standardization side things are smoother.
