Um, not really.  802.11's (or whatever the nonprofit des is :)
aren't permitted to lobby congress/feds in certain ways.

That said, the homeless non-profits certainly are involved at city
hall levels and the like.

ICann, it can be argued, has not shown that it's responsible to any
governmental influence and therefore it has nothing to do with federal
lobbying.

Does the baylisa org want to get involved in this?  Certainly
and the information being passed along is often useful.  More directly?
Doubtful.
