In addition to discussions, there have been real "substantial" concrete changes.

For example, instead of an MoU with the USG, ICANN now has the AoC.

In addition, there are many other MoU's signed with gov and intergov orgs:

http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/partnership-mous

The biggest change is that now due to changes in ICANN bylaws, the GAC
has effective "control" over what goes in the root.  Ask the folks who
applied for .gcc or .patagonia if you don't believe me!
