Hi,

In general I agree with you about the public interest and the multiplicity of 
registrars.

Where i think it turns out to be against the public interest is in the case of 
the IDN GTLD,  where there may be no qualified registrar - or the only 
registrar-equivalent may be the ccTLD or a reseller for the ccTLD.  in this 
case, the public interest seems to be suppressed by the requirements for a 
ICANN accredited registrar.  In the early phases a lot of the IDN efforts will 
be boot strap efforts, as in puling oneself up by, and such regulations may 
indeed stymy their entry.

While I accept that same reasoning my also apply to the non IDN GTLD that may 
be orphaned, I think the real hard case is for IDN where very few registrars 
support very few IDN scripts 

Speaking of which: is there a list anywhere of which scripts/languages are 
supported by which registrars?

a.
