What does it have to do with IG ...

Well if you don't belive that Racism is Alive-and-Well on the Internet and
its global infrastructure, and that those whom are choosen to leed IG
'do-not' come along with socio-economic-hyper-ethno-centric baggage, and
that their occupation of such positions are judically color-blind under
their Robes. ... If you truly belive that, then I guess your right. 

I don't, and as Icann go forward with its plans (be them as they
materialise) of auctioning TLDs et. al. their programs, you may see:
Dot.Baptist Dot.Jewish Dot.Christian Dot.Catholic Dot.Protistent Dot.Hundu
Dot.Muslim Dot.Budist Dot.Detity Dot.White Dot.Black
Dot.hyper-ethno-centric-socio-poly-economic-coaltion(s)
etc...

Here's a few topic for the IGF workshops:
IGC workshop: A religious agenda for Internet.
IGC workshop: A racial agenda for Internet.
IGC workshop: A socio-poly-economic agenda for Internet.

Like it or not, IG will have to touch these issues in one form or another,
IG will effect these issues in one form or another.

It would be quite unfortunate for this list to be used solely for IG
discussions of Commerce and Technical issues. (That's called Icann's: ALAC)

The CPSR must have to courage to address these Worldly realities. In
particularly when they are guised under the auspice of the UN WSIS IGF.
