Hi George,
Yes, ICANN is able to approve policies without public consultation in
certain situations, this was apparently one of them. We're (the
Constituency) working on next steps.
Cheers

This is definitely an issue we're actively involved in. It's a

among registrars at the Registrars Constituency meeting during the
recent ICANN conference (Afilias came in to make a presentation on
this new policy). We'll be working closely with the Constituency to
address this issue.
Just to followup, it appears ICANN has approved the policy as a "new
service", without even a formal public comment period:

I think this might require a reconsideration request or some other
action to appeal.
Sincerely,
