There are already many websites that try to attract the attention of
individuals to participate in the ICANN process.
These websites could perhaps be persuaded to host a linked banner to an
ICANN signup page.

It would be vitally important to be seen as even handed with regards to the
organizations approached.
In other words: in view of the roles these 3 organizations are already
playing in the constituencies, we should take pains to also ask
organizations *un*like ISOC, ITU, ETSI...
(does the ITU or ETSI have individual "members",  or do you mean employees?)

The most important item to verify is the uniqueness of each individual
Internet user that wants to be a member.
Another easy item for verification is a Domain Name registration.
Beyond that it becomes paperwork.
