Who are you to tell them how to manage their TLD, of that they cannot use
an outside domain management company to manage the TLD?  Why do you get to make
this decision for them?  Who are you to decide this is a bad thing?

Why is it not fair?  What is not fair about it?  Sounds to me like you want to
place rules on what these registries can and cannot do.  ICANN has to be very
careful going down that road, as it is subject to US Law in those matters, and
unfair restraint of trade can bring ICANN to it's knees.
