As someone who works at a somewhat big registrar, it always amazes me how opaque the whole domain ecosystem and politics is to anyone not in the business. Even some "basic" stuff like the difference between registrar and registries is widely unknown to the public. It's a shame really, because knowing how it works is extremely empowering. Knowing where and how to escalate complaints (registrar -> registry -> ICANN if not a ccTLD) for instance is just mandatory.
