I remember being asked to decide between .CA and .CAN .

I do NOT remember being asked about anything that pertains to the
discussion here.

MANY MANY times I have tried to get information on what was happening
with .CA et al. The replies were *always* along the lines of "we're
real close now - watch for an announcement next week."  Not once was
I asked for input on anything other than the domain name, despite
many repeated requests to be kept informed of the progress being
made (over a TWO YEAR period).

This discussion is leaning towards open warfare. If the "network
representatives" want to retain any amount of credibility with the
Canadian usenet community they should start posting some status
reports soon, and start listening to the feedback they get from these
postings.
