James,

ICANN's mission has always excluded consumer protection explicitly. ICANN
(you know this as a member of ICANN) does aid in some communications
between consumers and registrars (plus registries if they deal directly).

The competition principle included among other basic founding principles
for ICANN is of course expected to have an impact on consumers, through
choice, variety of services, pricing, etc.

But consumer-provider
relationships are well cared for in many national legislations (it does
get hairier cross-borders), and are far beyond the mission of ICANN as
many perceive it from the very start.
