It is MORE important to decide WHAT to speak, rather then who. I don't mind 
if I don't speak as long as the people who speak are giving good reasons to 
the audience.

Not really. Y J Park for example is not shouting, and I don't think she has 
the most friends, yet she speaks for the so called "Internet governance 
caucus", and is member of the CSB as network and coaltions. And as long as 
we all agree what she speaks, I am fine.

There is no such thing as a char of the CSB. And noone has taken a position 
that does NOT exist. Please, be more precise.
