Its really a good move. People won’t have to worry about details and they can have an integrated and smooth experience for those in need of domain mapping.
Good for business too
an ICANN accreditation only allows you to register generic domains (.aero, .asia, biz, .cat, .com, .coop, .info, .jobs, .mobi,
.museum, .name, .net, .org, .pro, .tel, .travel), should they plan on offering country specific domains they will have to apply for membership with that particular NIC – so my wild guess will be: probably only the above ones

Grats to them but I think I’ll stay with my current registrar. ;P I’ve heard to many bad things about godaddy to even try to deal with them.
Good move for automattic.
Just wondering, will they be able to handle worldwide domains, or just those in the U.S.?
