It also imtimates that they do not believe that ICANN has any right
under current legislation to monitor what actually goes into the zone

ICANN most deffinitely has a say in how the technical aspects can be
managed. Also, once verisign made a change to the root file for it's
own commercial benefit, they themselves crossed the line between
registry and maintainer.
