I think this is excellent when all parties are happy and would not dispute
that most countries in this situation are very pleased with the arrangement
and, no doubt, very glad to outsource.  However, where there is a problem is
when countries that are not in control of their ccTLDs are not pleased with
the ccTLD administration and have no say and no control in how their ccTLD
is managed; perhaps to the detriment of their economy.  I believe (and
please correct me if I am wrong) that anyone could apply for control of a
ccTLD initially and it is this that I (rightly or wrongly?) feel is not
quite how it should be.  
 
Is that a small enough brush? ;-)

I think you may want to temper this a little. Some of the outsourced ccTLDs
are quite happy as are the host admininstrations,  Further the vast majority
of ccTLDs are administered in good faith as a resource of the country. I
work with one that has created good working relationship.
 
Insofar as your statements are geared toward wayward regimes, I concur
completely.
I just want you to use a smaller brush.

Hi Sotiris

For reasons stated previously, it is something that should not be repeated.
ICANN must remain neutral.

I personally think that ccTLDs should be in the control of the
administration of the country to which they relate and that these countries
have the duty of care to their users. This is not happening at the moment.
If a country decides to outsource the management of their ccTLD to a party
in another country that is up to them.

I would also say that I don't know that much about ccTLD
allocation/revocation/management within ICANN. So I could be wrong. 

Best regards

Debbie
