Subject: NACCA still alive (if born)?

Some time ago I noticed efforts to start a North American CC organisation called
NACCA, which I find interesting across the Atlantic even so to speak :-). I
thought, it could create new standards for computerchess competitions, care for
more participation of North American chess programmers in big events etc.

The web pages look good so far, but I noticed latest update was 2003.12.10, and
there seems to be no specific NACCA url etc. yet...  So I'm curious if that
project is continued.

P.S.:
Something interesting turned up at Google when I was trying to see if NACCA is
found: Althogh these are 5 letters, IOW a quite "long" abbrevation, there is a
number of organisations already which use the same:

National Aboriginal Capital Corporation Association
North America Christian Creative Association
National Association of Consumer Credit Administrators
National Check Cashers Association
National Advisory Council on Consumer Affairs
National Cabin Crew Association
(list probably incomplete)

In addition to that, Nacca seems to be a frequent christian name of persons and
a house style music band. :-)
