Let's follow the logic the other way: does someone with multiple fraud convictions have an inalienable right to a merchant account and a massive line of credit? Perhaps, in the interests of personal liberty, hospitals should be obliged to grant witch doctors and those guilty of gross medical malpractice a salary and the right to use their operating theatre?
Freedom to act and freedom not to contract sometimes conflict, and contrary to some people's beliefs, it is possible to assess things on a case by case basis. In this case, being an ICANN-accredited registrar doesn't seem to obviously be an fundamental right, and convictions for IP-related crimes doesn't seem like particularly unreasonable grounds for not giving someone a rare level of privilege in the IP-registration business.

I dont think I've ever seen such a contrived strawman
Is there moral character clause in the requirements? When I looked into it, the reaqs were mostly operational/technical.
If there is no moral clause, and all other criteria are met, then I question the legitimacy of the declining. If there is a moral clause, then I'd like to know on what grounds.
If there are doctors guilty of medical malpractice, at some point they were not detected. And Sunde already has IP-registration business since 2017: https://njal.la/
