We currently are operating on a shorter term scale financially and without having long term financial control of our own established, it's very hard to have the independence to do long term planning.

Glenn, that's an important point. We need to remember that individual sponsors can change their minds very quickly when business circumstances change. You only need to look at what happened to ISOC around 2000/2001 to see this. Relying heavily on regular sponsors re-upping every year is not a long-term plan.
