I don't know if it is the repeated "ICANN can't be trusted / is corrupt"
messaging, or the sensitivity of the .NET "rebid" (aka VGRS deregulation)
that got the prompt action --

It's more that ICANN has figured out that registrars are where all
their revenue comes from, and if they dragged their feet signing
contracts or paying, ICANN has precious little leverage over them.
