I would suggest that we find an issue that people really want to do something about, such as evaluating ICANN, ITU, etc. as Bill suggested, and try to gain commitments from a critical mass of stakeholders to support some long-term initiative around that.

Seeking for a critical mass of stakeholders sets a high bar for issue selection.  But I have always felt (and sometimes said) that the critical long term issue that fits with the idea of Internet Governance as an ecology, and that even "civil society" largely neglects, is identity.
