When it comes to making international laws/reforms/standards it would be so much better if it is to be regulated by a consortium (I mean a people's body independent of the government) body like (WWWC) consisting of technologists who know what they are talking and are able to make moves without siding/consulting with governments. The other way of looking at is is that compared to bureaucrats, panels/consortiums that publicly discuss topics can be opposed easily and can be requested/demanded to make changes.

For such things, what we need is not closed door meetings that happen in lavish halls, but openly published specs/drafts/RFCs that people can comment upon and voice their opinions about.
