I would not mind if we could break up the URN issues into a few chunks;

- URN content; i.e. what does a URN point to; just some URI/URL's or
  real meta data. What metadata do we want; just name/date/subject or
  also admin data to as who submitted the record, who owns the data
  pointed to and who is responsible for record and/or resource and/or
  resolving

- URN Naming authorities, tied in with DNS, or tailored to this kind
  of resource naming. Or both ? Authorative or Tree-structured free ?

- Actual URN Resolving; DNS to find a resolving host and
  second name-space resolving to resolve the URN ? or a flatter
  and very specific name-space and resolving technique.

- Transition period; what can we do to tie urn and urls together
  within the current generation of browsers.

- Short (7 mins) overviews of various relevant projects and 
  activities currently taking place. (Just for 'social' reasons :-)

Just an idea,
