There is no dismismal coming from me. You are the one being flippant and dismissive. I see the merits of your opinion and I disagree with it. I think you are perscribing elements of other people's arguments to me, or perhaps reading in to my statements an opinion that is not there.

If, by action beyond our control, we are unable to perform a task, why are we to be held accountable for it? Especially considering that the task is at the request of the same structure that has removed our capacity to complete it?

Granted, we could have a DST right now, but it is obvious that many members of the Domain feel that that would compromise other issues which are important to them. In my mind, as I suspect is in theirs, the "fault" for our lack of DST is on Alex T, et al, and any penalties, were they to be incurred, should fall to him. HOWEVER, as that issue is currently in discussion and the question of fault is undecided, it only stands to reason that some other exemption should mitigate further harm to any parties involved, eg: dissolution of the Domain for failing to report.
