I don't completely blame ICANN or the DNSO for this, I blame the
ccTLDs for it.

Certainly the ccTLDs can see that the one major issue ICANN was under
both governmental as well as public pressure over was the expansion of
gTLDs, so a certain amount of focus on that should be understood.

However, what as the ccTLD community done to bring its issue before
the DNSO for discussion and consideration and proposal of policies?
Have they sat around waiting for ICANN and the DNSO community to bring
the issues up for them and then have them dealt with?

The ccTLDs don't warrant a separate supporting organization just
because they feel their issues are getting heard.  If every group that
doesn't feel they are getting heard to their satisfaction demanded to
be their own SO, it would simple be madness.

The ccTLD community needs to take more responsibility for getting its
issues the attention and direction they require.
