Those who have a POV on this topic should volunteer and should _ participate & work_ on the WG.  In my opinion, this is the best way to affect ICANN policy - whatever effect you are looking to have.  And even when you lose, you get to include a minority statement in the final report, which experience* teaches me that people read.
