I just read through the various MoU, Letter Exchanges and sponsoring agreements with ccTLDs. To my honest surprise, several of those "contracts" has a paragraph named "Conformity to ICANN Policies": ... the interoperability of the Delegated ccTLD with other parts of the DNS and Internet; operational capabilities and performance of the ccTLD operator; and the obtaining and maintenance of, and public access to, accurate and up-to-date contact information for domain name registrants; Interestingly, the paragraph varies on the various documents: the stable part is up to the first semicolon, it appears in almost all documents. The second part is more or less a strongly recommend option. Please point me to the slides for the various consulations.
