The point, in my opinion, is that it doesn't matter whether the registry [thinks of itself that] is doing a good job or not: ultimately, it should be the local government who has the authority to decide who runs its ccTLD. Even if governments should not step in directly and should listen to their community, they are the only possible choice as ultimate guarantor of the fact that the two-letter string pertaining to a country is used in the interest of the country. If the registry actually brings benefit to the country, even by commercially exploiting the string to worldwide customers, there's no reason why the government should go against it.
This case is complex from a legal point of view, since the current .nu registry is not under Niue jurisdiction (and this, IMHO, is something that should not happen any more in the future). But from a political one is quite simple.

the country of Niue can sponsor a new application as part of ICANN's upcoming round of "at least 3"...I believe they should be able to qualify as a sponsor: .NIUE
It seems to me that any country should be able to meet ICANN's sponsorship requirements for a new, restricted TLD given they are not already the designated adminstrator of their 2 letter country code.
No?
