Carlos,
Questions are never stupid. Answers can be.
You are asking one of two important questions. I have only been
within NCSG/NPOC for about one year so I will defer to others with
regard to opening discussion around "Do we have a basic problem in
the narrow definition of the NCSG, which which excludes many
alliances we should look for?", and how this relates to the
internal organizational landscape of ICANN.
The complementary question is how do we (who?) promote wider
mobilization and engagement in various policy venues and at
various policy levels outside ICANN. For example, there is more
power behind a good idea, or to oppose a bad idea, on the ICANN
policy agenda when ISOC-CR or ISOC-Canada can say this good idea
is backed, or bad idea opposed, by a broad and active coalition of
constituencies in Costa Rica or Canada, constituencies who have
dealt with their government (GAC member) at home, and are in
dialogue with their own domestic commercial constituencies.
That is my dos Colones worth of thought here.
