In that I assume the rest of the subject matter of your message is a dead issue I
still wanted to address this one issue you raised.

ICANN uses the definition of a registry basically as "an entity which is accredited
by us to register domain names".  Certainly under this definition the answer is
clearly there are only accredited registries.  However many ccTLDs operate within
their national right without designating or accrediting any registry and yet the
domain names are still registered, and fully functional.  Who is the accredited
Registry for half the ccTLDs?, is a very interesting question, just look at the top
8 being marketed in the U.S..
