I am and have been a ccTLD Manager for 18(ish) years - happy to help.
What is the specific question?
I am not a member of the ccNSO - so can't speak for them.
Currently the authority to manage a ccTLD Registry is decentralised,
empowering diversity to best serve their customer's needs. ccTLD
Registries are accountable to their local community, (have Policy
development process that accommodate local culture, legal systems and
operating environments) and are responsible for their entries in the
IANA and Root Servers.
I thought it helpful to emphasis that for some ccTLDs centralising
authority at ICANN is undesirable, hence:I agreed with the original
draft that contained the following wording after para 3:
"As a quick example of a policy outlined within RFC1591 that has had
significant repercussions, the document says this about the issue of
re-delegation: "The IANA tries to have any contending parties reach
agreement among themselves, and generally takes no action to change
things unless all the contending parties agree; only in cases where the
designated manager has substantially mis-behaved would the IANA step in."
I am trying manage the many emails (in addition to my day job) as best I
can - please ask a specific question and I will do my best to answer.
Best
Paul
