Excellent points. I tend to agree with at you've saying, I suppose it
is does largely dependent upon what OpenNIC hopes to achieve.

If it's providers we want to target, then how do we go about that?
Step one?

I've spoken personally to one of the execs of the larger ISPs here in
Ontario, and I got his interest initially, but having followed up, got
feedback that his "people" viewed OpenNIC, as you say, sort of "a
hobby" interest, and our discussions tapered off into radio silence.

Please don't take any of what I have said the wrong way. I agree that
we aught to try and run a tight ship, just the current structure of
OpenNIC in my view (correct me if I'm wrong) depends largely upon the
T2 operators and attracting more of them. That's all I was getting at
is that given that; we aught to present ourselves as nube friendly.
I'm not saying I'm right, that's just the way I see it as things
currently stand.
