>* the board has finally accepted the full authority of the NRO over the IP address space and policy development in this area;
>* the board is trying to bring the IANA service in line with the needs of the registries which would go beyond the former approach  (reduce the waiting time and everything is okay) and include also QOS ;
>* the board takes ALAC more seriously. The adoption of the revised bylaw para with regard to the accreditation of ALS could be interpreted as a signal and it is now up to the ALAC to ask for more.
