Do you *really* think that the ccTLDs would want to get into the trouble of 
doing this? For instance, the trouble of deciding if there should be a .ps, 
and who manages it. Don't you think that some of the ccTLDs may take a 
position that will reflect the interest of their respective governments, and 
that what should be a technical/professional coordination among ccTLDs may 
turn out in a mini-GAC?

We might ask some of the ccTLD managers what they think. Peter?

Anyway, by proposing to create an SO they have implicitely answered. Were 
they thinking to phase out from ICANN, they would have left instead of 
looking for a solution that will give them more influence on ICANN.
