Agree - there is space for these issues at the IGF. Not sure how effective that is, but raising these issues in ICANN is definitely not going to get any action as ICANN has no role in them. Jacqueline McTim wrote:

If that is what you are after, ICANN is hardly the place for it.
http://www.icann.org/en/general/bylaws.htm#I "The mission of The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") is to coordinate, at the overall level, the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers, and in particular to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems."
Internet users face many threats to openness and freedom, very few of these have anything to do with ICANN.
