Hopefully for the better but it happens that sometimes it is for the worse.

I think it may be more important in a case like this to build the Internet community 
behind the ccTLD.

If you institutionalise without a community then most likely there will be no one to 
support the institution as seems to be the case here where no one has complained from 
within Chad, nor does there appear to be anyone pushing the institutions SOTEL and OTRT 
who appear to be at the heart of this.

We have even tried to send them a fax, even the listed numbers do not work.

Paulos
