ICANN has nothing to do with routing, the world wide web, or lots of other things on the Internet.
No but the fact that sh ip bgp 192.0.0.0 results in "Network not in table" from every publicly available route server I've checked has everything to do with routing thus it would seem that this is somewhat operationally on topic.
This isn't about ICANN per se, but rather about a good chunk of address space being unreachable for some unknown reason that has very little to do with "normal maintenance."
