The reason of exsitance of ICANN is what you say "This commitment to a unique and authoritative root is a key part of the broader public trust to carry out the Internet's central coordination functions for the public good that is ICANN's reason for existence". 2.

ICANN will continue to hide them: "ICANN in deference to its public trust will continue to collaborate with these citizens of the Internet community to advance the notions of a unique root system as a prerequisite to Internet stability, and to ensure that community-based policies take precedence."
