Interesting ITU Workshop on Member States’ Experiences with ccTLDs (Geneva, 3-4 March 2003)
The whole bunch of contribution (over 60!) to the meeting can be found at http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/workshop/cctld/index.html.
However, if you want to get a taste of the discussion going on, you can read the article on The Register « Internet battle lines drawn at extraordinary Geneva meeting«

Papers by Michael Geist and Ethan Katsh. Paper on the .ca domain and a bunch of other yummy stuff.
Reading a backlog of BNA ILN, I see that Michael Geist wrote a column in the Toronto Star about the meeting:
