ICANN hasn't made a bad effort of informing the public of the differences between Gs and CCs, it has made no effort at all. Not even the minimum -- a gap analysis that clearly indicates the policy differences between ICANN and the various CC registries. If it does exist it's well buried.
Perhaps this remains a public information mandate which ALAC could advocate needs to be resourced. Never too late. It would be interesting to see such an analysis, Evan, The problem for ICANN is that people identify with their local ccTLD in a way that they don't generally identify with a gTLD. Some of the more successful and stable new gTLDs have communities that have grown around them (.ORG, geo gTLDs and hobby/interest gTLDs).
A lot of ccTLD registry marketing has focused on the localised nature of ccTLDs and claim that they are more trustworthy than gTLDs. Most local advertising is going to be overwhelmingly ccTLD with a few of the legacy gTLDs.
