You haven't heard about it before because you weren't here when the
agreements were signed.  There was a great deal of discussion about the
NSI agreement when it occured -- one might go far as to say that there 
was a great deal of resentment that it was such a sweet deal for NSI.  
But NSI held numerous good cards in the negotiation.

Hard to say why VRSN proposed a change, but it is not unusual for a
business to pursue things that they think will be advantageous to them. 
Clearly, ICANN didn't "demand" a change because they have no legal
grounds to support such an action.  The nature of a contract is that
*both* parties must agree.  Only if NSI gave them an opening could they
try to negotiate a better result.
