Actually to some degree the above is what ICANN tried at first.  They
tried unilateral contracts and bills for services.  The ccTLDs said
naff off and ICANN realised that in a fight between ICANN and several
dozen ccTLDs backed by their sovereign governments ICANN would not
even come a close second but would lose so badly it would probably
never be given policy control of Root Server A.
