This has nothing to do with ICANN. Status flags are set by the registry.

The Don is too busy selling exclusive TLDs to private companies that won't use them to care what the enforcers are up to.

There are no global enforcers of ccTLD registry behavior. It is completely up to that country. In this case Montenegro.

Really? So, ICANN enabling registrars to do this is suddenly fine?
