I don't think that ITU's involvement in the gTLD-MoU movement 
is the primary concern.  Nor, for that matter, do I think that 
the IANA's, ISOC's, or WIPO's involvement is either.  

I *do* think what's unpopular is these four groups unilaterally 
deciding to take over Internet governance, while ignoring the 
majority of Internet stakeholders who have not been and will
not be represented under the proposed governance structure.
