The root is not the only registry in the world and every DNS registry
know the problem. When you limit redelegations, you can see people
working around your limits by changing the name servers, the phone
numbers and leaving only the name of the holder. There is nothing you
can do against it and IANA procedures can not prevent it either (IANA
just checks that the old contacts agree).

There is nothing special in the root, it is just a DNS zone among
others, and requesting a *manual* approbation for just a change of an
IP address is incredible. (The real motivation, of course, of the US
government, is to keep control.)
