This is apples and oranges though, really, isn't it? Every example below relates to another constituency.
Re: "February has turned out to be a good month for
the At-Large community"
I guess that depends on who you talk to:
(1) The registerfly.com debacle has already resulted
in 75,000 domain name registrations that weren't
processed in January owing to fraud and mismanagement.
http://icann.org/correspondence/registerfly-notice-of-breach-21feb07.pdf
(2) The Chair of the Registrars Constituency has
revealed that ICANN has never implemented registrant
data escrow protection by failing to provide a
schedule, terms, and format for data escrow.

(3) GNSO Councilor Sophia Bekele has reported that
two prominent domain name resellers have been denied
membership in the GNSO Business Constituency (which
they viewed as the necessary conduit that would allow
for full participation in the GNSO IDN Working Group).
These firms are Regtime of Russia and Karmania Media
(Iran). The sordid details are at
http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg03256.html
(4) The NCUC posts a press release describing ICANN
as the Net's Word Police.

(5) The Eurid Registry (.eu) finds it necessary to
create a Registrar Code of Conduct; Eurid will
establish a platform to better log the flood of
complaints against registrars (this is after having
sued 400 registrars for breach of contract and having
earlier suspended 74,000 domains).
