I guess it depends on your definition of "major". From section 5.1 of ICANN's draft FY11 budget (http://www.icann.org/en/financials/proposed-opplan-budget-v1-fy11-17may10-en.pdf if you care): Registry $32,647,000 Registrar $29,159,000 RIR $823,000 ccTLD $1,600,000 IDN ccTLD $780,000 Meeting Sponsorships $500,000 Total $65,509,000 So the RIRs contribute 1.25% of ICANN's budget.
