Okay, there's no other way to describe today: this was an incredibly long day. This was "constituency day," when the Board traipses from meeting to meeting. We had many many meetings today, including breakfast and lunch meetings. I'm sure the ICANN staff was working for many more hours than this.
I did get to leave the building for dinner, which was a total delight. Hair-raising cab rides. The guy did not stop at red lights.
Speaking only for myself, the big issues I'd like us to make progress on at this meeting are the London School of Economics report on the Generic Names Supporting Organization, internationalized domain names, and new generic top level domain names. And meetings. I'll be at a meeting about meetings tomorrow, and I hope people will show up to talk about how we can improve ICANN meetings and communications generally.
But for now, I have nothing to say on any topic.
