One strategy is to follow the board around, during their tour of various 
silos/constituencies. But that suffers from the problem that what you 
hear is severely sanitised, rather than the "raw input" you'll get when 
the Board isn't in the room.

Of course, if you have several weeks to dedicate to the task you can 
catch up with almost everything via the archived webcasts.

I'm not sure how many people do that though, because they have other 
things to do, meetings to attend. It's almost as if each silo needs a 
full time policy research secretariat to keep it up to date with what's 
happening elsewhere in ICANN.
