Beats me what ICAO will do, if anything. Same goes for the U.S.
There are 36 countries on the Executive board. That's 31-5 against raising the age. There are over 100 countries that have an age that isn't over 65. ICAO might change the age in 3 or 4 years, but probably not. The 9 that allow flying over 65 aren't going to twist the arms of over 100 countries. Its not going to happen.
