I thought the point was that ICANN does not provide any funds to IETF and RIRs for their internal costs (such as they are) relating to IANA processes (which I assume is primarily policy-related).  By contrast, ICANN funds its own costs relating to IANA policy-making, as well as funding the IANA Functions Operator aspect of IANA.  Maybe that's a different point....

How do you know that?  I thought this was a free service for the IETF.

No entity is charged for IANA services.  Really.

I admit I don't know the numbers contribution levels for the IANA service, but I am pretty sure IETF pays nothing for it.

There are no "contribution levels for IANA services." The IETF does not provide any funding to ICANN.  Nor do the .INT registrants. The RIRs and some ccTLDs provide a voluntary contribution to ICANN, but that accounts for a tiny fraction of ICANN's revenues.
