I was there, and wrote
this fairly extensive account of what took place for YNOT.
There was no way to include everything that was said in the article (it ended up long enough as it is) but I tried to include the most salient points offered by both sides, for the most part in the order that those points were made, and attempted to avoid editorializing/inserting my own bias to the extent possible.
The article includes substantially more of ICM's perspective than do the other accounts of what went on at the seminar that I have read thus far. That fact does not indicate support for .xxx on my part, it is simply a reflection of the proportions of the seminar itself, in which 3 of the 4 panelists were supporters of, or associated with, the ICM proposal.
