According to http://igcaucus.org/charter IGC has been created with this
mission:

   The mission of the Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) is to provide a
   forum for discussion, advocacy, action, and for representation of
   civil society contributions in Internet governance processes. The
   caucus intends to provide an open and effective forum for civil
   society to share opinion, policy options and expertise on Internet
   governance issues, and to provide a mechanism for coordination of
   advocacy to enhance the utilization and influence of Civil Society
   (CS) and the IGC in relevant policy processes.

Not engaging on any substantive issues would imply having zero
influence in the relevant policy processes, so that would be contrary
to IGC's mission.

Greetings,
Norbert

1. Respond to the content of assertions and arguments, not to the person
2. Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept
