As I said, I don't know what the ccTLDs would want.  My 
comments are simply suppositions and the recognition that their 
policies may be and very likely are different from ICANN's and 
many areas.  Being friendly to ICANN and supportive in some 
areas is a liklihood, I would think.  I also believe that autonomy is 
most important for them.

Precisely.  Isn't that the idea behind their SO activity?

I believe they have left that as a possibility, but not the preferred 
action.
