I'll note ISOC already does in fact do that (see Fred's message
elsewhere in this thread).  But also,

from what I observed, that interaction looked like a successful one.
That is, we had some public policy people who came to the mic and
asked some questions about how everything worked, when they could
expect something, and so on, and they got besieged by people who know
the topic and want to help them.  Why do you think that event was
evidence of failure to help?  It looked like helping to me.
