I've been trying to understand this for a while, but haven't found 
literature that directly addresses it:

What are the roles and responsibilities of religious groups and trade 
unions and political parties vis-a-vis Internet governance, and why are 
they so under-represented (if at all represented) in "civil society"? 
Don't these embody the "networks of civic engagement" fostered by "civil 
associations" that constitute "civil society"?

On a separate note:
Does APC have any members that are trade unions or religious groups or 
political parties?  (This is not a rhetorical question.)  Did CPSR have 
or does IGC have representatives from such groups?  I can't find any 
while looking at ISOC's membership.  (Perhaps the last might be 
explained away if we think of ISOC as not constituting a part of "civil 
society" for whatever reasons.)
