Yup.  Maybe we should form one :-)

BTW I've been reminded offline that there's a parallel proposal from 15 Arab countries, including Egypt Tunisia Iraq etc, for the GAC to become an intergovernmental committee, evenly representing the six ITU regions and operating under a cooperation agreement with the ITU, that would oversee ICANN.  Also includes stuff about restricting alternative calling procedures (specifically call back mentioned but could include inter alia VOIP), accounting rates for the Internet, etc.
