This helps to illustrate the Pyramid ICANN has constructed and the artificial hurdles constructed for Registrars. One of the most fascinating aspects of the entire history of ICANN is that all of the focus is shifted to the performance of others. ICANN did not have to meet any accreditation requirements or pay any fees. Their boundless arrogance seems to be their primary qualification.
