Lots of comments about need for expertise not politics.
Politics is starting point. Every country should have same goal regarding internet. That is way diplomats are discusing internet and not experts. When diplomats get to agree what laws are they willing to support experts will do what they can in boundarys of law.
It is not best solution but it is more democratic then let one organization dictate what is technicaly best.
The Question is: will US agree with others or it will go after its on interests and make others agree with them. US will probably said that regulatory function of internet should be in hands of US goverment because it is in interest of national security. Then they send marines...
Point is: everybody agree that UN is a joke but that is beacuse US makes it. No matter what UN proposes regarding internet US will have better plan how to capitalize on internet.
