If all non-US-ccTLD registries (of which there are lots more than US-based) start beating ICANN with joint forces, I'm pretty sure that this will have an effect.
Has anyone tried serious reasoning with them about these delays???
I have raised the question to the ASO address council and ICANN coordination list. I'll get back to the WG with the response and we can discuss a constructive approach to solve this. Hans Petter Holen RIPE Address Policy chair / ICANN ASO Address Council co-chair.
Good Lord, on which planet were you, the last five years? All the ccTLD managers, as well as many governments, a lof of concerned individuals and so on, have tried to move IANA faster. If it does not, it is not a technical issue (unlike ".com" or even ".fr", the root is a very small zone, easily maintainable manually), it is a political one.
IANA blackmails the ccTLD managers: if they do not sign the "sponsorship agreement" (not one in Europe did), even very trivial changes are delayed for ever.
