Correct! IF and only IF one ignores the hundreds of other CS bodies
working on IG issues around the world (I gave several dozen examples ~
a month ago IIRC).

Even the IGP seems now to consider the "Internet technical community"
as CS in this blog:

"This should raise a flag for civil society (e.g., individuals, small
business, Internet technical community)"

In other words, no "vacuum" exists.
