Re: Time for the Internet to become less US-centric..
Fundamentally, the Internet Society/IETF has done the typically 'techie' thing and not thought sufficiently about the politics
Sorry, you cannot mix the two like that. ISOC's role is policy and they have thought about it a lot, and lobbied (with the ITU in particular) when appropriate. But ISOC is an NGO, is not politically aligned, and could never, ever become a tool of the UN.
The IETF is explicitly not concerned with policy. But it does have active liaisons with many Standards Development Organisations, naturally including the ITU, for technical coordination.
