This statement was actually quite interesting. It suggests that the
WHO's application came to the member governments (or at least their
representatives to the GAC) as a surprise, and that they did not
approve it so far. This points to possibly severe problems inside
the WHO.
However, the point the GAC was trying to make with that statmement
is still obscure to me: After all, internal organizational problems
between the WHO's bureaucracy and the member states shouldn't be
ICANN's business, but something the member states and organizations
should sort out as soon as possible.
