The phenomena of the spin-Hall effect, initially proposed over three decades ago in the context of asymmetric Mott skew scattering, was revived recently by the proposal of a possible intrinsic spin-Hall effect originating from a strongly spin-orbit coupled band structure. This new proposal has generated an extensive debate and controversy over the past two years. The purpose of this workshop, held at the Asian Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, was to bring together many of the leading groups in this field to resolve such issues and identify future challenges. We offer this short summary to clarify the now settled issues on some of the more controversial aspects of the debate and help refocus the research efforts in new and important avenues.
