So the FIA have had their meeting and there are changes aplenty. The safety car rule has been clarified in the wake of Monaco, and McLaren's order for Hamilton to stop on the track to save fuel won't be happening again, as the new rule dictates the car must make it back to the pits under its own power, plus have enough fuel left for a sample. Those will be implemented with immediate effect.
From 2011 the f-duct will be banned, but teams will be allowed to use an adjustable rear wing.
Taken from PlanetF1:
"From 2011, adjustable bodywork may be activated by the driver at any time prior to the start of the race and, for the sole purpose of improving overtaking opportunities during the race, after the driver has completed two laps.
"The driver may only activate the adjustable bodywork in the race when he has been notified via the control electronics that it is enabled. It will only be enabled if the driver is less than one second behind another at any of the pre-determined positions around each circuit.
"The system will be disabled the first time the driver uses the brakes after the system has been activated. The FIA may, after consulting all the competitors, adjust the time proximity in order to ensure the purpose of the adjustable bodywork is met."
The 107% qualifying rule will also be brought back.
