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. -- Bombim Cadiz ***************************************** * Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) -- * * No windows. No gates. It is open. * * No Bill.
