The concern from my side isn't the revenue issue, but why these registrars are not being kept to the same public disclosure requirements (etc) as others simply because they haven't registered a domain yet.
As a registrar I cannot publish terms etc., for registration in a TLD for which I am not contracted with the registry. And the "simply" is a very big difference. You also can't get setup for data escrow if you don't have any names registered (as far as I know - this may have changed)
The revenue discussion, to me, merely attempts to describe why ICANN is not acting on these entities, almost suggesting a level of dependence that is buying its silence. IMO this is not relevant to the policy issue at hand.

And also the figures that have been used in this thread make a dangerous assumption - they're assuming that the accreditations are being billed at the full price. If they're "small" they wouldn't be
