ICANN's orientation

["A.M. Rutkowski" <amr@netmagic.com>]

ICANN's web site prominently advertises:

  To register a domain name, please
  contact one of the ICANN Accredited
  Registrars listed here.


Of course, those registrars for the
most part, only register in 3 of
the 250 Top Level Domain zones in
the legacy root of interest to ICANN.

Questions:

1. Isn't is rather skewed to be promoting
only these three domains?

2. Isn't this an affront to all the country
domain registrars and country oriented domain
communities worldwide?

3. Doesn't this represent a restraint of trade?
Shouldn't ICANN be promoting all Internet names
of any kind and in any root equally - instead
of only those sold by their own "accredited
registrars?"
