  Yes it is why people are upset about the .BIZ and .INFO situation.
The ICANN BoD and Staff CREATED the problem, where none existed
before and there were already operating Registries for .BIZ and .INFO
in place.

  It can be, but doesn't need to be if properly technically dealt with.
However the ICANN BoD and staff have decided not to take
those technical steps.  As a result there will be a problem.

  I disagree with your solution.  It will not solve the long term problem.
Rather a better solution is for ICANN to include Atlantic Roots
registry as the proper registry for .BIZ.  Or the ICANN BoD and
staff can embrace the Shared Roots technology.  The latter is the
best long term solution.
