[governance] Towards an IGC Statement on RFC 6852 "Affirmation of the Modern Paradigm for Standards"

Hi all friends,

This so called RFC belongs to a war machine against ITU and really 
international organizations.
Even inside ISOC some voices are claiming that we absolutely need the 
ITU's good work in Development, Spectrum and Standards.
Neither ITU, nor ICANN, nor IEEE, nor ISOC are perfect. Let's aim to get 
better from all of them.
And first, that's clear, a consideration of the "no business - no 
competition" part of Internet. That's a minimum requirement from civil 
society.
And a consideration of worldwide cultural diversity.

@+, best regards,
