It also imtimates that they do not believe that ICANN has any right
under current legislation to monitor what actually goes into the zone
file; only the way verisign behaves as a registry. The fact of the
matter is that yes, there is a seperation between those two items but
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.

This explains everything.  They don't believe the stability of
com and net are in any way related to their registry duties.

That quote alone should be sufficient to deny them custody of
com and net.
