I guess the question would be WHY don't the major ISP's take part? What needs to change for them to do so? (Either at said ISPs/teleco's or outside them)
My opinion, and I may be wrong, is that people senior enough at the major telcos to be able to contribute are careful not to be caught saying anything in writing that could be taken to represent the views of their employer. I still remember a posting many years ago on this list that was picked up by the media and taken completely out of context. A mailing list is a bit more discreet than say, twitter or facebook postings, but is it really safe in this day and age to express an opinion in writing, archived for the world to read for years to come ?
