I'll be in Vancouver at the ICANN meetings from now until next Sunday afternoon.  I took a walk this afternoon that looped around this:

I've recently been reading these (q&a about the VeriSign settlement agreement) and these (the proposed new VeriSign agreements) and this (the current MoU) and this (the original NSI Amendment 11) and this (the current IANA agreement) and this (which describes ICANN's view of the IANA services) and many many other related documents.  I'll blog this week, but I won't be able to do a play-by-play -- it is shaping up to be an enormous swirl of events.  I'll be walking around and finding people to talk to.  I'm not an official board member until the last minutes of the meeting on Sunday.
