I'm not engaged with any such organisations and I have no intention of going
there if I can avoid it. I've been lobbying (pretty unsuccessfully) on some
standardisation issues recently (anyone following OOXML?) and I'm nauseated by
the circular politics and back-room maneuvring of NGOs.

I heard once that some native american tribal councils consider the effects on
the tribe seven generations hence when bringing down a decision. We could do
with some of that foresight and wisdom today.
