I'm happy to provide input on the technical side. Fundamentally, the TM folks are mistaken in what is possible from encryption, and building lots of sisyphean arguments around that. I think the alternate model is more technically sound.

I don't know that I know more than you already do - basically ICANN is sticking with Deloitte/IBM, who although they have made substantial progress with details of the implementation since Prague still don't seem to be quite there. The alternate model that Neustar and ARI are pushing is interesting, and does reduce costs for the registries, but I don't think is well-understood by everyone who was there. There's a huge gulf of knowledge between the TM lawyers who have been on the scene since the TMCH idea first came up, and the new ones who don't have anywhere that kind of background and context. There's also the problem that some TM lawyers don't understand the technical issues, or even how PKI works (which is part of the Neustar/ARI model).

I am attending by teleconference. I have some other work I must do, but hate to leave this meeting without an NCSG participant. Can anyone share the time with me?

I think we should have at least two reps. I have volunteered to be one of them. Who else could join us and help represent our strongly-held views?
