I had the opportunity to ask the board what they thought ICANN should do about the FBI & DEA meddling in IPv6 deployment, as they (ICANN) are the planet's governance body for names, *numbers* and protocols.

Carlos - 
 
   I am the Chair of the NRO, which serves as the Address Supporting
   Organization within the ICANN structure.  The ICANN ASO advises
   the ICANN Board on issues and policies related to Internet number
   resources.

   I'd be happy to meet with you in Prague at any time this week to this
   concern, but will also note that there is a session specifically on 
   IPv6 at the ICANN Prague meeting (it on being held on Thursday - 
   <http://prague44.icann.org/node/31803>) which would also provide an 
   opportunity to raise it in a public forum context.

Thanks!
