==Outcomes==

A major talking point and development of the event was the discussion on the At-Large election process and the structure of the group. At previous [[ICANN]] events, it had been decided that the group was only to consist of 18 members. One outcome of this meeting was how these committee members would be elected and how many and from what regions they were to be.  

Also, the Proposed Independent Review Policy was made official during [[ICANN]] 5

One of the main talking points of ICANN 5 was the budget for the current and the following year. It was a major talking point of the Public forum, and after a keen discussion it had become apparent that there were certain aspects of ICANN that needed a majority of the budget. The following were classed as a high priority:

*[[Jean-François Abramatic]]

*[[Richard Thwaites]]
