Dear Greg

As raised in todays's meeting

To become ICANN Accredited Registrar, all registrars need to sign a contract with ICANN and ICANN should applies some criteria before accepting the registrar. ICANN is a US Entity and can't get involved into any contract with the people of

some countries This means having an Accredited Registrar for .com and .net and many more gTLDS in those countries is almost impossible. The is business blocker.
This is an important issue to be carefully examined and resolve.
The question is whether after the transition, still ICANN refrain to sign the contract in question ,if no where that is reflected and if yes, what solution is available to remove such discrimination .
