I don't mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.

They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.

ICANN shouldn't get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.
