I don't recall any questions that they would have been better able to answer. That said, if the group does feel that something should be said, I'd rather it were phrased in a positive sense than a negative one. That is, instead of saying "What was disappointing was that no member of the ICANN staff attended", I think it would be better to say "It would be nice if, in the future, ICANN staff members could attend", and then go on to give reasons why, such as questions that they could answer better. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb нннннннннннннннннннннннн
