_Some_ registries answer to ICANN policy, those that have entered
into contracts with ICANN. Others, e.g., all the country code TLD
registries, don't. However, even in those cases in which there are
contractual agreements, ICANN's role is typically quite limited (by
design: ICANN isn't the Internet's mommy).

Sorry, I still haven't figured out what the problem is you're trying
to lay at ICANN's door...
