The internet is its own organisation, with mechanisms in place to deal with 
its own standards and modus operandi.  Involving governments, iso and similar 
bodies are not appropriate, in my view.

If people can remember back to the telex machines (there must be some around 
still, no?), there was an "intelligible" address along with the AA number.  A 
much simpler world then but surely we can cooperate to identify the supposed 
problems.

Before passing the buck, how about trying to resolve any perceived probelms 
with the delegates first.
