Blogging will be light over the coming days as the 2005 ISS Annual Conference kicks off tomorrow morning and runs through Friday.  The speaker list this year is pretty impressive, and includes GE's Jeffrey Immelt and Disney's Robert Iger.  The conference will include a securities litigation-related panel on Thursday, October 20, that I will moderate on the topic of "The Fiduciary Duty to File Claims in Securities Class Action Settlements."  The speakers on this panel are:

• Randall Pulliam, Partner, Baron & Budd (you may recall his firm filed the "failure to file" lawsuits against mutual fund advisers back in January 2005).
• Peter Saparoff, Partner, Mintz Levin.
• Karen Barr, General Counsel, Investment Adviser Association.

See you there!
