Here are some of them (for the .org revenue): IETF, RFCs, ETSI, IRTF,
IESG, IAB, AfNOG | AfriNIC | PacNOG | SANOG | WALC, ISOC Fellowship to
the IETF, Network Training Workshops, Pan Asia Networking ICT Grants
Programme and the Regional Fund for Digital Innovation in the Latin
American and Caribbean, ccTLD Workshops.

I am sure there are others that I am missing, including participation
in IGF, WSIS and ITU fora.

because they are the most useful, probably.

Most bang for the buck I guess.  If I were making the decisions about
whether to fund a non-binding, post-WSIS, exclusive travel and
sightseeing club or a "rubber meets the road" inclusive Internet
development program, I know what I would choose.
