GAC fought for and to some extent won the right during the policy process to do these sorts of things. 
But it is still the policy process, and it still requires board approval. However f**ed ICANN's policy process may have become (and I have been in the forefront of both fighting against arbitrary interventions of this sort and in the forefront warning that that the GAC represents a structural flaw in the PDP), it is still the policy process. 

Once the board approves a string, and it is time to enter it into the root zone file, that is where NTIA "oversight" happens. That is not, and should never be, a policy override process

Lord forgive him for he knows not what he says. What a disaster. 193 governments getting a last, completely arbitrary poke at what goers into the root. Are you out of your mind? This would be an elevation, not a downgrade of their power
