Why is ING (nor indeed any of the other provisional registrars) not listed 
amongst the organisations that have indicated they will voluntarily comply 
with the Code of Conduct?

Perhaps Clause 8 is a problem, for ING at least:
"8. Renewal Notices
Registrars and resellers shall not send to registrants renewal notices that 
appear to be (or could be construed as) invoices for payment, unless the 
registrant is their customer.
All solicitations for business should be clearly identified as such, and 
should include a statement that the registrant is under no obligation to 
respond and may choose to renew their domain name licence through their 
existing registrar or reseller."
