Second of two talks.

This talk will summarize a recent manuscript of Aitken, Hajir, and Maire which details a construction that yields natural representations of G_{K,S} on rooted trees. I will describe the construction (which makes use of the iterated mondromy group of a polynomial) and then discuss some open problems and conjectures.
