| | ICANN Letter from ITU on Telephony-Related TLDs |
 | | The role of the TSB Director as well as that of ITU Member States with respect to the allocation and management of numbering resources is defined in Resolution 20: Procedures for allocation and management of international numbering resources, adopted by ITU Member States at the World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (Geneva, 1996). |
 | | [6] The ITU Constitution and Convention, which are recognized as binding treaty instruments, set forth the functions and role of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector, the World Telecommunication Standardization Assemblies, as well as the Director of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB). |
 | | Even if this were considered to be acceptable practice, the ITU would suggest that particularly careful reflection is warranted as to the global long-term benefits to the Internet community in allocating certain TLDs at this timeespecially considering both the irreversibility of such a decision, and that it may preclude, perhaps other, more beneficial, future uses. |
