So we're here in Sao Paulo.  Last night was the first official Board event -- a nice dinner.  Today we met in committees during the morning and then as a Board for the afternoon.  It was a pretty good afternoon meeting, devoted mostly to listing (but not ranking) priorities for 2007 and talking about what is coming up this week.  Plus internal Board machinations -- who's leading, who's on what committee.  We have three new Board members (two really new, one Board liaison becoming a Board member).

Tonight there was a dinner with the GNSO council and staff, with semi-assigned seating (two Board members per table, different constituency reps, a staff member) and topics set for conversation.  It was quite useful as a format, I thought.

The topics tonight were:  the LSE GNSO evaluation (process for considering it); the new gLTD process; and the nominating committee.

So that was Day 1.  Kieren McCarthy put together a great remote site for people to use here.
