Small point of clarity: the only key that ICANN maintains is the 2048 bit KSK, 
and the only signatures ICANN makes with it are over the DNSKEY RRSet. The 1024 
bit ZSKs and signatures made by those keys are handled exclusively by the Root 
Zone Maintainer (Verisign).

It's not clear to me that any changes would be required at ICANN to accommodate 
2048 bit ZSKs. As I recall, every KSR that is submitted for processing at a 
ceremony is carefully tested in dry runs before the date anyway, so even the 
existing QA could continue unchanged.
