Why on earth would you do that?  The way to affect policy is to work
WITHIN ICANN structures, not try to subvert the entire policy making
system.

As Rocky suggested, his committee has no say in the matter, so I would
suggest you are just tilting at windmills with your written testimony.
 In addition, this attempted "end-run" suggests that NPOC is not
committed to working within the ICANN structure.
