I don't want to make this too long, but just to clarify, Trump's policy can affect ICANN directly and indirectly.
Directly, if he decides to take action on the ccTLDs of "banned countries" - there has been already a quarrel a couple of years ago about Iran, that ended reasonably well with a positive judge decision. However, the question of the "ownership" of the ccTLDs has never been solved, and I could expect at least an enforcement of the law already in force (but enforced only mildly now) against the 5 "banned countries" (that are not the 7 arab countries that are the object of the visa issues, but the countries that are on the US blacklist and object of economic sanctions).
Indirectly, targeting participants to meetings. And that is not limited to the citizen of the 7 countries that have the visa issue. On the Italian press I have read the case of the Italian citizen arrested in Chicago in transit because of a previous "suspect" Libyan visa. She has been handcuffed, not allowed to even go to the toilet for hours, and when finally released (she obviously lost the connecting flight) presented with a $2850 bill to cover the cost of the loss of time of the border control. I have on my passport a couple of visas that Trump might consider "suspect", so I am very happy that I do not have meetings in the US in the next months. As for transiting through the US when this is not my final destination, I have strictly avoided this ever since.
Of course, there are other countries that are worse, no question about - so I hope everybody will understand that the attached picture, that is going viral on the web these days, is only a joke ;>)
Cheers,
Roberto
