I hadn't thought at this in these terms, but yes, it seems a good
idea. Basically, the contract between ICANN and the gTLD
registry/applicant should require that the registry either operates
in-house after having gained accreditation as registry operator, or
subcontracts operations to any ICANN accredited registry operator -
but ICANN needn't even to know which operator you are going to use...
