That's what we CS types do within the dreaded ICANN, except that it is easier because, e.g. GNSO Council and other meetings of interest are webcast, so people outside can listen in and engage in rapid Skype coordination with their reps.  (BTW that happened in GNSO because of us..).  If we can't hear the conversation, waiting for CS MAG people to send smoke signals might be rather tiring for all concerned.
