Very little. Mostly announcements, of the sort that my recent post
was a response to. I believe that all the real discussion has taken
place within the hierarchies of the already-established RIRs.
There was a posting by Mark McFadden, on October 2, relating to the
lack of open process. Here is part of what Mr. McFadden wrote:
"I certainly salute the efforts of the AC for getting together in
Brisbane. What concerns me is my inability to convince the AC
members
at ARIN (at the ARIN meeting this week) that there should be a
broader
public process in the development of address policy."
So far as I am concerned, there has been no open process at all.
Naturally, the people who control the allocation of IP addresses
have no interest in allowing the public to become aware of
addressing policy, as they would then have to reveal their criteria
(or lack of criteria) for doing it, and could be called to account
for the partiality undoubtedly employed by them. And of course these
are the same people who dominate the IETF, the root servers, ISOC,
IPV6 implementation, and all the rest.

I'm not sure what you mean here. What BoD?

This is supposed to be the official discussion list for the ASO of
ICANN. I guess the RIR in-group had to have a list so as to appear
open and above-board, even if all policy decisions are being made in
camera.
