See www.canarie.ca. It's linked from there somewhere. I have nothing
to do with .ca (other than having having written the whois server -
out of sheer frustration)
I don't think it's that we aren't able to do anything - not at all,
I think it's just that we wait until we've all come to more or less
the same conclusion. While ICANN *talks* about consensus and a
consensus building process, we actually do it. You're watching it
happen.
