I have not seen any information to support the argument that the IETF 
is under threat from politically inclined regulations.  I have had 
discussions with some regulators outside the United States and Europe 
and I found that they have little awareness of what the IETF 
does.  They did not argue to have IETF standards under government supervision.

Internet governance is rife with misunderstandings.  There are very 
few people who take the time to do some fact checking.
