James,

When someone make a proposal for taking an action, they have the 
responsibility to explain why it is a good idea.  It is not everybody 
else's responsibility to first explain why the idea is bad.

So, James, what makes ITU involvement in ICANN mission specification a good 
idea? (

Just to make this issue a little more concrete, I will note that having 
social interest involvement in technical administration leads to the 
problem of social agenda expansion.  To limit the scope of social agendas 
in the administration of Internet technical infrastructure services, I 
propose that all participants in ICANN who have social agendas must get 
assistance from me, since I have quite a bit of experience establishing 
technical experiences.

(And before you reject my example out of hand, please note that it matches 
the structure and logic of your own suggestion exactly.)
