ICANN has so far no mechanism to review or supervise any gTLD registry's registration policy (especially for open TLDs). PIC-DRP's can address the issue to some extent but will be very limited.

The reputation of IDN's on the security and stability front is about to take another hit.
PIR is launching .org in multiple languages, but the existing IDN registrants in .org are NOT being grandfathered into the new versions, even though PIR was preaching equity and stability in 2006.
"Principles for the Foundation of Top Level IDNs" http://www.icann.org/en/resources/idn/pir-idn-principles-23jun06-en.pdf
Later this month, PIR will be allowing different registrants for the existing пример.org <http://xn--e1afmkfd.org> and the upcoming пример.орг even though they have always said that .org = .संगठन = .орг = .机构
That's not going to help IDN's case at all.

The challenge for ICANN is that it doesn't deal with application level problems. Nevertheless, the successful adoption of IDN TLDs is arguably a success measure for ICANN's TLD programme, so ICANN has a stake in seeing IDNs succeed.
Maybe. But if ICANN were to understand that the application issues impacts not just the health but a 'stable, secure.....' ecosystem then ICANN would be well-advised to find a corner and get to working.
In this era of roiled sensibilities and sensitivities ICANN no longer has the luxury of being Potiphar's wife; make a claim to be above reproach.
Thanks for sharing, Rinalia. Much obliged.
