          there is so much work involved in communicating with "le grand
          public" as we say up here, that I think it is not useful to
          kick people out because they are not active at ICANN itself. 
          No point in all of us suffering here....the goal is to sustain
          a body of members who are united in common goals to represent
          the non-commercial users, and fight for civil society
          perspectives on DNS policy and implementation.  We need to
          work on measuring engagement (there may be folks totally
          disengaged on our lists) but that is a communications challenge,
          one which I hope that subgroup will tackle shortly.</font></font></p>
