It is not only "old" in time - the IGF process, which started as a result of 
the two UN WSIS summits in 2003 and 2005 has provided a wider field of 
discussion, where also the old ideas have been dealt with - including the 
statements of the ITU secretary-general at the last ICANN meeting in Cairo - 
expressing an ITU perspective, quite different from the broader UN IGF 
process.

I assume you are aware that all these things are in flux and cannot be briefly 
summed up - as the different opinions and positions are under discussion in 
different fora.
