Let's hope you're right, but I note that the ITU isn't an 
inter-governmental organization, it's (depending on which part of their 
web site you believe) a specialized agency of the United Nations, or an 
organization based on public-private partnership since its inception, with 
a membership of 193 countries and over 700 private-sector entities and 
academic institutions.  Sounds totally multistakeholder to me.

Unhelpfully,
John

PS: And the ITU is definitely not a solution.
