The DNS root zone file is of little use to RIRs[1], and even IANA's 
database of allocations of blocks of AS numbers and IP addresses is of 
little practical use on a day to day basis.

Sometimes people conflate the role of RIRs as occasional secondary DNS 
server hosts for ccTLDs with anything that impacts their core operations 
with respect to IP Addresses, and even being such a secondary host only 
requires receiving updates from the ccTLD operator and not ICANN.

[1] I'm aware that one RIR operates a root server, but that's an 
entirely different project.
