SO: He makes my point yet he says I am wrong;  the one that maintains the
root has the "technical control" and can do wonders (if it wants to!).
Beyond that is administrative which is the procedures that I mention and
that is where NTIA exist!

I take my VC's instruction to do xyz technically but that does not remove
the fact that I have the capability to do abc as well but ofcourse it's
with consequences.

While there are procedures that ensures a distributed control, the reality
remains that the one who maintains the root has the overall "technical
control" which is Verisign. The community/ICANN/ccTLD et all trust that
they will continue to respect laid down process and not go out of scope.
