What about the ISP/C bylaws and member agreement? The ISP/C doesn't have
some of the historical baggage that CIX has and is fairly open to what 
its members want to do. If most everybody on this list joined the ISP/C I
suspect that it would happen.

On the other hand there is something to be said for having this function
in an entity separate from any trade association...
