What is also significant is that it paid off a 1/4 of it's staff.

let's be cautious. Have there been any third party audits of it's
finances? If so, would be good to see where they are (and not)
spending the precious sums they get from its members.

The ITU could be an Enron, may be not - but let's find out and do our
due dillegence before lending our support in anyway to the politics
going on at the ITU.
