IP addressing is primarily a matter for the RIRs. And other Internet-related fora like RIPE, NANOG, IETF, etc. There’s no role for the ITU in this at all.

hi,

about ITU's role, maybe it's worth reading this paper:
RESOLUTION 101 (REV. BUSAN, 2014), Internet Protocol-based networks

https://www.itu.int/en/action/internet/Documents/Resolution_101_pp14.pdf

in that doc it's recalled that:

'the WSIS+10 High-Level Event (Geneva, 2014), in its Statement on the
Implementation of WSIS Outcomes and the WSIS Vision Beyond 2015,
determined that one of the priority areas to be addressed by the
Post-2015 Development Agenda must be: "Encouraging the full deployment
of IPv6 to ensure the long-term sustainability of the addressing space,
including in light of future developments in the Internet of Things";'

and resolves to:

'explore ways and means for greater collaboration and coordination
between ITU and relevant organizations [Including, but not limited to,
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the
regional Internet registries (RIRs), the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), the Internet Society (ISOC) and the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C), on the basis of reciprocity.] involved in the development of
IP-based networks and the future Internet, through cooperation
agreements, as appropriate, in order to increase the role of ITU in
Internet governance so as to ensure maximum benefits to the global
community.'

so, ITU is just following what the plenipotentiary conference (that is
governments, mainly) decided in south korea four years ago.

i'd prefer to continue stressing the technical aspects of Y.Pv6RefModel,
instead of complaining about ITU's relevance in the topic.

thank you
