I just received the same set of requirements (http://en.shangcheng.wang/notice.html <http://en.shangcheng.wang/notice.html>, expand the "Credentialing Requirements for CZDS applicant to access the xn-- czru2d Zone Files” item)
Has there been any movement on this from ICANN?
Besides the standard complaint replies, I've actually received today a reply on my rationale regarding this matter: It seems ICANNs position is that the registrars operation procedure is legit and backed by the registry agreements: -- snip -- Registry operators may establish additional policies or procedures for a generic top-level domain (gTLD) and request that users provide additional credentialing information to grant access to its zone files without limitation (see Specification 4, Section 2.1.2 of the Registry Agreement (RA). -- snip -- This means (as I understand this) it's essentially up to the registrar if access is granted or not.
