Dave,

Unless the FTC held some other meeting two weeks ago, the one that I participated in had nothing to do decision-making about standards and processes. The FTC's excellent efforts went into producing two days of of presentations and discussions about proposals and points of view for email authentication. Participants included bulk mailers, but also included Internet service providers, developers, lawyers, and of course, standards wonks. This was an important forum for community exchange, but was intended as a place for trying to reach agreements.
