As far as I know, neither CREN nor EARN has plans to terminate within 10
months. This is a purely canadian problems, and from what little I have
been able to understand of the reasoning, it sounds like a political
rather than technical one.
Unless there is some fine print in the CA*NET contracts, I see no reason
why canadian universities which do not want to lose BITNET connectivity
could not get together and form some non-profit association which could
then request CREN associate network status. It would seem
counter-productive for CREN to refuse such an offer and force nodes off
the network. All that is needed, it seems (again based on my very limited
knowledge of the situation), is someone to actually come forward and
start the ball rolling before it is too late.
