If you're speaking about the joint USPTO/NTIA hearings, we are
in constant liaison with USPTO reps to track what they are doing.
>From our contacts, there will be public hearings in January but 
not necessarily any proposed 'rule-making' in any near time frame. 

If you're speaking about the Internet policy principles coming out 
of the White House from Ira Magaziner, we'll just wait and see it 
what it says when it hits the streets.

As far as Europe goes, some of us are in constant liaison contact 
with people in the European Commission DGXIII. We've made a 
special effort to keep them informed.

To sum up, we're trying to cover the bases here...
