As a follow up from the call, and to answer the question raised by some regarding the settlement of the case:

As a reminder on the facts of the dispute,It was claimed by ICANN that certain .jobs registrants did not comply with the requirements set out in the registry charter and that Employ Media, the registry, has proceeded with a unilateral broadening of the charter. Boiling it down, the dispute focused on how to interpret the list of requirements set out in the charter, as they were not all factually mutually exclusive (it was eventually possible to imply the satisfaction of some requirements from the satisfaction of some others)

ICANN and Employ Media settled on the basis of representations made by the sponsor of .jobs (the Society for Human Rights Management), to the effect that, among others, it would ensure that registrants provide the necessary representations with regards to their own compliance with the requirements of the charter. The letter provided by SHRM states that it believes all currently registered names comply with the charter. 

In that sense, it would be difficult to determine a clear winner in this case, while ICANN did not "back off," no names had to be deregistered as a result of the settlement. In a way, the sponsor seems to have stepped in and vouched for the actions of Employ Media.

I have amended the case report with this information. The new version is attached here.
