     Alexander, IMO, there are many "important" issues that you might not 
think are important.  I think transparency, (fiscal and policy) 
accountability, and the scope of ICANN's mission are big big issues, and 
also ones where many at large members may agree, even when they disagree 
about other "policy" issues.

       Also, there are the issues that keep being surpressed, such as 
problems with the UDRP, the failure to allow more gTLDs, and the 
unwillingness to allow civil society groups to run their own TLDs (such as 
.union), or preventing the WHO from running .health or the UN from running 
.un, are important, to me.  But maybe they are not "important" to others.
