Eric: Thomas Roessler's blog has done a good job of aggregating the various clips of what is going on http://aggregator.does-not-exist.org/cgi-bin/index.pl. Some important topics of discussion that I have seen discussed in KL include: - ICANN funding both present and future alternate sources; - Whois Task Forces. During the GNSO Council meeting yesterday there was an effort to combine Task Force 1 and 2 to move forward while Task Force 3 continues on its own path toward implementation; - There have been several reports on the SiteFinder/Wildcard issue given by Steve Crocker; - IDN has also been a hot topic of debate, and there is currently a full day discussion on the issue; - I believe there will be a report on the evaluation of the new TLDs (2000 round) given tomorrow; - WSIS has also been a hot topic of debate, with Markus Kummer being one of the more visible people in attendance; and - The .NET rebid process which has also been discussed extensively during the registrar constituency meetings as well as the names council meeting; These are the hot topics that I have seen discussed in KL, however, I will defer to the Registrar Executive Committee to provide any formal report and/or minutes in connection with the registrar constituency meeting from Monday. Hope this helps. Best regards, Michael D.
