Conference
So, I was at that ITIC conference, and thought a bit about the language people use when talking about standards -- for example, the different standards people have of what makes something an "open standard". I think I can identify something like eight different meanings of "open standard" (and, for that matter, several different meanings of "standard").
One of the points of contention at the conference was between consortia and formal standards bodies; some people from the formal standards world argued that the output of a consortium was by definition never a "standard".
There was also a panel on patent licensing, and Tim Berners-Lee was there and stood up a couple of times and confirmed my great respect for him.
