Playing a bit of devil's advocate there... press releases shouldn't
be anyone's first choice for being informed on a topic. Press
releases are _designed_ to say nothing at all and offend no one. <br>
<br>
IMO, in-depth analysis and 'real' information will come from the
webinars and further documents from the ISOC.<br>
