Only in part.

There are other standards bodies, other orgs that work on numbers,
hundreds of DNS orgs, and lots of folk in issue areas that have
self-organised in many hundreds of  CS bodies to tackle challenges
they see.

Don't get distracted by something that was probably initially drafted
by a 20 year old Congressional intern!
