what i did was negligible. many folk in za, vic shaw, jacot guillarmod, alan barrett, chris pinkham, and then the whole uucp crew up on the reef, did the real work. but mike did push it, though with vastly excessive use of violence.
However, there is a larger arrogance he is battling - a poorly informed committee writing bad legislation that presumes they can do a better job of administering .za than he can.
well, za and some of its principal subdomains are the highest error rate zones i secondary or use. but i can imagine a different part of the government doing an even funkier job. the contest is likely keen. but semi-clued governments and semi-clued folk in general seem to be attracted to the domain name space. i suspect it is one of those areas that appear simpler, more powerful, and more lucrative than they actually are. running a cctld well is a major pita with no thanks and thin rewards. randy
