Richard writes:  "ICANN is not enforcing its own policy or its Agreement with its accredited registrars."
 
I think we are jumping to conclusions too quickly.  To be fair to ICANN, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement allows for time for compliance.  Section 4.4 states:    
Registrar shall be afforded a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the establishment of a specification or policy under Subsection 4.3 in which to comply with that specification or policy, taking into account any urgency involved.

The problem is, as pointed out in the independent review of the GNSO by Patrick Sharry, that ICANN has no one on Staff designated as a Contract Compliance Officer:   "ICANN needs to put into place a compliance function to monitor compliance with policies -- Recommendation 13"  see http://gnso.icann.org/reviews/gnso-review-sec1-22dec04.pdf

Let's hope that the Board decides to address this issue soon.  Perhaps a few comments posted to the Strategic Plan forum on this topic would help.
