But that was my point. It is clear that the rejection works in the other
direction. I* orgs don't want to be associated with us in any way that
is important (i.e., cooperating in the highly visible OECD Forum).

If you mean ICANN and RIRs, those are governance organizations. CS needs
to approach them either as critics, supporters or participants (or a mix
of all 3), but not be acting _on behalf of_ them. They are both
"multistakeholder" orgs, of course, so many members and participants are
CS. 
ISOC straddles business and CS.
