ICANN Day 4
Today is the Public Forum — schedule is here. It will be webcast and we are actively soliciting online participation. There are some very important topics being discussed this week, including the idea of having different tracks for different categories of new generic top level domains and the progress we're seeing on internationalized domains generally.
We're trying to avoid reading any reports or presentations as much as we can. Instead, the Board committee chairs will be available to answer questions, and we'll have ample open mike times.
For Los Angeles (the next meeting - in October 2007), we're trying to think of ways to change the format of the public forum to make it even more interactive and meaningful. Much of the work of this week has happened in constituency and cross-organization meetings — how can we get that word out to the world in the best and clearest way? I'm personally very interested in making progress in this direction, so please do let me know (here in comments or via email) how we change things in an effective/efficient way.

Got something to say?
It would be interesting to consider some sort of time sharing, to hold the Q & A after each presentation and take unused time and redistribute it for the more controversial topics like IDN. There was a lot of “me too” that didn't seem efficient all considered.
