Here is the applicable rules. As nitinag pointed out this only is for registrar's who have signed the 2013 RAA. Registrars still under the 2009 RAA are not bound by this. (At some point they will have to sign the new RAA and they will right away if they want to sell (as was pointed out) the new f TLDs.
While I can't speak for what other registrars will be doing these ICANN policies in the past tend to leave plenty of wiggle room and the ability to game the system (by registrars) if they want to.
Specifically:
"In either case, if Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Registered Name Holder, Registrar shall either verify the applicable contact information manually or suspend the registration, until such time as Registrar has verified the applicable contact information. If Registrar does not receive an affirmative response from the Account Holder, Registrar shall verify the applicable contact information manually, but is not required to suspend any registration."
