At the risk of prolonging this discussion further, I'd like to point out
that if this quote is accurate (from one of CMH's posts, I think):
+ According to Mr. Tippett, President of NCSA, "the NCSA tries to act in this
+ regard like a government agency for the commercial sector." (Communications
+ Week. June 17).
then NCSA, if it is a 501-C tax-exempt US trade association, may be in a
world of trouble with respect to US anti-trust laws. Gary Flynn and his
company might get a better ROI if, instead of joining NCSA and whining in
this forum about their certification program, they spent the same kind of
time, energy and money talking to one of the many DC law firms that does
a lot of competitive restraint-of-trade work. With treble damages and
criminal penalties at risk, behaviors can influenced much more quickly
than with a PR campaign.
