• Overwhelming support for restructuring and/or consolidation of domestic regulators
• Global community split over need for establishment of a supra-national regulator to oversee global financial institutions
• No desire for any increase in FX / country exchange controls to limit flows of capital
• Strong agreement that short selling should not be prohibited.
