That's kinda what I was thinking, but I can't decide if this is a good thing, a bad thing, or something to ignore. Certainly, when it involves TLDs, it's something to think about, but tiny actions on the part of ICANN have large ripples.

I'd say its bad. Its bad because it enables registry censorship. Its bad because it will hurt successful online businesses. Its bad because it will hurt not for profit use of dns. Its bad because it is the conversion of scarcity which only exists as a matter of policy and not as a matter of nature into an economic engine, which ultimately makes the economy less efficient at solving real problems.
