[At-Large] The USG Gives Notice re WCIT 2012

[Carlton Samuels]

..Uncle Sam has given notice it intends a 'full court press' for WCIT.

See how the Beeb reports it to the rest of the world here:

The Russian posture inre ICANN is overblown, IMO.  Assuming the document is
legit, they appear to be proposing that the RIR function is shared with the
ITU. See what they're thinking here:

And if the Beeb's report is accurate, looks like Hamadoun is deliberately
back-pedaling expectations; note his comment/definition of consensus and
what it takes for any proposal to be accepted.
