Good news! I feel civil society representation in the ICANN structure is
not progressing well, and I do not think the solution will come from the
at-large approach, trying to work with the generic "user" as the
constituency.

So we have to make NCUC stronger, and above all more representative, I
guess. However, this has limitations too -- NCUC has a mandate to "bug"
GNSO. How could we extend this?
