1.  In spite of the many statements of concern about ICANN exceeding its 
scope, ICANN board and staff have shown no signs of interest in going 
beyond administration of names, numbers and parameters.  Hence a discussion 
that focuses on scope is a discussion that has nothing to do with real 
ICANN issues.

2.  The one area of contention about ICANN scope that is somewhat subtle 
is, of course, the UDRP.  The irony of having ITU participate in a 
discussion on that topic is that the ITU was a member of the committee that 
formulated the original proposal for a UDRP as part of the IAHC effort.
