The problem with initiatives that rely on voluntary participation by organizations is that there are too many "trade secrets," "proprietary technology" and even some bad blood to get things done. Some people just don't want to play nicely. This is probably the biggest shortcoming of the Internet and it's potential. Everyone "cares" about security until it's time to get their hands dirty and interact with others.
actually, in working with the other large providers, i have not found this to be the case. and most smallish folk seem cooperative. it is usually the middle sized folk who have not scaled to meet the problems, and occasionally let things fall through the cracks. randy
