I suppose I simply must point out that the RyC (or RySG) does not
include registry operators, except those which happen to also be
parties to registry contracts.
So Verisign, as operator, is in.
As is NeuStar, as operator,
As is Afilaias, as operator.
The remainder of the members of the RySG are not operators and simply
cannot act on operational issues, except through their respective
registry operator.
So, the parties calling the shots are VGRS, and ... well, the .biz and
the .info operators.

Historically they have opposed any policy but FCFS, and if that leads
to a happy plethora of odd characters, and it has, that's their policy
preference.
The problem about which this set of threads has revolved around is not
present in several gTLD name spaces, where FCFS does not completely
describe the registration policy.
