Congratulations! I wish I could be there but the expense to
attend the meeting in Vancouver (+ winter + avian flu + name your
favorite excuse here) prevents me from attending.  In addition to this 
conference, I wanted to get a feel of the ICANNites on the 
EU/Brazil/China/et al vs US government dynamic on the "control" of the 
Internet.

    I hope you have a very fruitful conference.
