What are you saying, everyone attending afnog, 
nanog, ietf is civil society? that a person might 
be there to represent a company is irrelevant?

Anyway, they are clearly both business guys (and 
they are both active on the tech community, but I 
don't see how that makes them civil society.)

Charles Sha'ban, business.  Waudo Siganga, 
business (he represents commercial organizations, 
African leadership of WITSA).  Richard Sambrook, 
business, you're not suggesting the BBC is civil 
society?
