Incidentally, that's what I'm doing, but let me explain again what I said:

I'm not saying "do this and don't do that", I'm just pointing out that 
IMHO one thing is likely to have effects and the other is unlikely to 
have effects (Bill called it "beating dead horses") - then, everyone is 
free to decide where to allocate time.

Personally, I'd hope that the IGF can rather discuss the zillions of 
very important IG issues that don't have a home, but if people want to 
discuss about ICANN at the IGF, there's nothing wrong. However, I fear 
that a discussion on ICANN at the IGF would be so vague to mostly end up 
in people doing the diplomatical equivalent of shouting "the USG is 
bad!", "no, the USG is good!", "free markets suck!" etc. - rather than 
focusing on any practical idea to make ICANN better, which is what we 
actually need.
