Too much inside the box thinking not a good thing

If the crew has a sound understanding of the system,(and keep themselves informed,about potential threats)they need not wiat for ICAO or anyone else to put pen to paper.
That is the reason we still have people sitting at the sharp end of airplanes.
CRM calls for the use of all available resources(that includes expensive fancy gadgets like TCAS,even if specifically not mentioned in any ICAO/Company procedure)
When ICAO and everyone else gets their act togather(and figure out a solution for every scenerio)they will replace the pilots with software.
And since they are unlikely to get up to speed anytime very soon,pilots will be around for a while yet.
Especially the ones who dont wait to see everything on the correct bit of paper,when the situation calls for it.
