The number of attendees was > slightly up on last year, at a total of 60. A report of the meeting will > appear shortly on the PSO website, where you will already find copies of > all the presentations given. > > We had also included on the agenda an item involving the ICANN staff in > order to give an opportunity for ICANN to inform people about recent > issues and to allow people to ask questions. Last year, in Pittsburgh, we > had Mr. Louis Touton in attendance, and we were disappointed that ICANN > staff were not able to be involved this time. We are obliged by our MoU to > hold our GA, not in conjunction with an ICANN meeting, but hosted by an > SDO in conjunction with one of its own major meetings. > > In recognition of this and recognising that it may be difficult for ICANN > staff to travel to Europe attempts were made to involve ICANN staff via a > conference bridge.
