1. A straw poll was taken to prioritise more discussion in
    the seven listed areas, as tabulated by Glen dSG.
    see http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/agenda-IDN-topics-30jan07.pdf 
    or below for list of seven items.

2. First session had a number of issues discussed, guided by
    Ram Mohan as chair and covered all seven items listed above.
    No serious consensus achieved.

3. Second session had hot debate about the issue about the Korean Government
    statement about IDNs and its (mis)interpretation and perception
    by participants that it was a claim of sovereignty over
    something that shouldn't be. As Ram Mohan was absent, the
    meeting was temporarily chaired by Werner Staub. No major
    conclusion was achieved.

4. Final outcome: more discussion is needed, which just about
    says it all.
