Please see the section "Gaining Access"

I will not disagree that there is considerable scope for improvement in ITU's cybersecurity activities.  

These were excellent (and quite multistakeholder) till around 2007-08.  

Till then, ITU organized several multistakeholder conferences and engaged experts from industry, civil society and academia to produce white papers, as part of WSIS Action Line C5.

IMPACT happened after that, as an attempt - I will agree, not a particularly successful attempt - to "operationalize" everything and serve as a multistakeholder partnership organization for cybersecurity.
