Because we're not used to being members of organizations in which
major decisions are driven by short-notice ultimatums.  

Because we had to act quickly when it became apparent that the 
root servers were likely to be arbitrarily reloaded with a set of 
TLDs less than the full set originally registered as eDNS TLDs.

Because we are used to organizations that provide stability and
reliability as key elements to foster an environment hospitable
to business.
