 I had a look at going, all the details of the meeting and associated
convention are on the ISOC web site.

 A few names from the  EFA types were there as well as NIOE listed as
speakers and presenters.

I think this "report" is a bit coloured in its style and targeted at local
markets. A lot more info can be had from the Website. There are also the
links for the real and streaming media.

I dont think this group has fully begun to answer any of the issues yet.
They have been raised several times and in various formats but little work
is actually being done on them via this list.

 Perhaps the NOIE sponsored (and moderated) face to face would get the ball
rolling a bit. I had hoped that the early focus of the list would continue
to a point where our own common technologies would suffice to begin a
decision making process.

 So far the focus on the identifying the problems is drifting from the
generic to specifics with the associated clashes.

 A drift to working groups on questions or topics has not occured.

 The listserv remains as mass confusion of ideas and self interests.

I still however remain hopeful that an inclusive and thoughtful process may
devolve from the discussions on the listserv.

 A few meetings with NOIE and "stakeholders" is only a partial answer. A
dynamic system must be created where the ongoing problems can have due
consideration and thought applied to them. No matter who is invited to the
NOIE forum there will be complaints about non inclusion etc.
