Ok, thank you all for this.
So here's my takeaway from your responses, plus what I want to cover. Here's what I'm thinking - roughly
* Quick rundown from me about my experience on the Nominet Board after one year (5 mins)
* Quick rundown on the Articles consultation and why I think you should all respond to it (although the initial consultation will have finished by then - it ends 9 August - go here if you want to take a look, respond: https://www.nominet.uk/articles/ (5 mins)
* Questions about Nominet (10 mins)
- Board thinking on promotions
- Board thinking on pricing
- Recent election saga including Qs on screening
* State of the .UK market -- interactive session (15 mins)
- Trends - consolidation, changes to market
- What role of Nominet could/should/might be in .uk market
- Specific issues - Auth (would like to know more) etc
* Questions (5 mins)
Sounds about right?

Re: IFFOR where I am Executive Director.
IFFOR continues to do the same work it has was set up to do: check on .xxx policies and their effectiveness; do an annual audit; run a grants program; develop policies and do related work that fit it with our remit.
We did expect the .xxx contract between ICM Registry and ICANN to be revisited both at the end of 2021 and 2022. ICANN has extended the contract both times. We now expect it to be revisit at the end of this year. IFFOR does not have a say or any particular insight into those negotiations, so we continue to do the job we were set up to do.
In terms of other work, we have a big launch planned for the start of the new school year over our AtFirstSite program, which was first developed in 2016 and will soon be in its fourth iteration. It's a really good course and I'm proud of it.
