While Danny's "head in the clouds" comment might inspire some rancor, 
I would like to also encourage WSIS-CS and IG caucus members to take
part in the real activities affecting IG that are going on within ICANN.


The Verisign deal, Whois privacy, .xxx are all issues touching on human
rights and economic regulation of the Internet. You can get involved via
Noncommercial users, www.ncdnhc.org or ALAC (sort of). 

Obviously WSIS-exhaustion may be preventing crossover, but I am
becoming concerned that the very broad normative discussions that take
place around WSIS consume so much time and energy that CS activists pass
up very obvious and direct opportunities to shape policy where it is
actually made.

I have been tracking the responses to the proposed
ICANN-VeriSign Settlement Agreement and have yet to
see a CS comment posted...

My question:  are any of you participating on a
practical down-to-earth basis on current issues faced
within ICANN, or are you mostly a head-in-the-clouds
kind of group that prefers to ruminate rather than
actually tackle major issues head-on with helpful
commentary and recommendations?
