CoCCA is currently building out to meet the criteria for the Technical  
Evaluation. Most of the development is on a per-need basis, i.e., a  
ccTLD administrator requests an added function.  The one remaining  
piece to be finished (a majority of the work is done) I am aware of is  
the completion of DNSSEC testing, as most small ccTLDs have not voiced  
a strong demand for DNSSEC deployment.

CoCCA provides technical registry services and a policy framework.   
There are no full-time employees, everyone is hired on a consulting  
basis.  Writing the technical proposal would be an added function of  
the organization.
I'll forward any responses from the Directors as soon as received.
