Fadi and Larry were up in front of the Congress today to give an update - not only on IANA, but also new gTLDs. Among the tricky IANA aspects: "How to ensure that stakeholder groups – supporting organizations (SOs) and advisory committees (ACs) in ICANN parlance – would have standing under California law to enforce the changes to the bylaws;  How to incorporate the Government Advisory Committee (GAC) into the new ICANN structure without increasing its power relative to the other SOs and ACs; and,  How to resolve outstanding questions regarding the potential for lawsuits that could impact the SOs and ACs."  A CCWG proposal for an ICANN membership structure bit the dust in Buenos Aires, and we are pretty much back to the drawing board on this.   On gTLDS, issues such as .amazon, .wine/.vin, and .sucks were discussed. Enjoy!
