I wonder why no effort was made to bring your own concerns to the 
attention of the IGF. 

Its easy to sit around and pick apart those who actually participate for 
not mentioning yet another issue or another bad law. 

Perhaps instead of considering whether to "endorse" others, you could 
participate yourself.
