	That is exactly why this discussion is relevant to ICANN policy space and NCUC.

There are private companies refusing service, as is their right, and ICANN policy on domain transfers within the 60 day window being applied. I don’t see where the discussion in the ICANN sphere is needed. No registry has blanket denied access to their registry, no RIR has denied access to IP space, and ICANN has not issued any policy edicts on the topic.
	
	I do not think the domain transfer policy was intended as a mechanism to lock registrants out of being able to have any active registrar, which is how it is being applied in effect here. That an ICANN policy is having an unintended effect (or at least, not widely understood effect that is somewhat controversial) is always worth discussing.
