I believe it is one of the few places left, given the intransigence of the current government on internet policy, where one can have an impact (albeit indirectly) on internet policy -- national and international.  The last two times I did this, I was within a few votes of winning, so this is worth the effort.  It also provides a forum to air some of the issues which concerns us all.
