So they're related to the IETF???

Worse, they are diplomats and folks who have no where else to speak and
call themselves NGOs to get the floor. I am exagerating, but you will find
more human rights and education activists there than anyone else.


Worse, it's a forum for people to complain about why 'foo' [1] should
also control the DNS root, facilitated by the U.N.

For what it does, it does it well. It let's people talk and let out their 
frustration, and get other things done while they are at it.

[1] 'foo' being any country, city, ethnicity, or other national or
international political interest that believes they have a stake in
the domain name control business. See also:
