Are you suggesting that a letter from ICANN along anything vaguely
resembling the following lines might be conceivable?
Dear Dr. Merkel,
This is to inform you that the current delegation of the .DE top-level
domain is going to be rescinded due to the failure of its operator to
comply with the rules about the inclusion of the Esszet in domain names
devised by a working group of the IETF during the preparation of the
IDNABIS protocol.
We will redelegate the domain to a new operator of our choosing at the
same time and you need not be concerned about any interruption in the
operation of the domain during this process.
