Domain providers often refer to them as an "ICANN verification"  message.
I am pretty sure it is because ICANN creates technical rules the registrars
must follow.  The domain registrar is the one responsible to complete the
verifications and annual reminders, and makes the decision to suspend a domain.

But your registrar must implement that verification program in
order to follow ICANN technical rules which require a registrar
to either suspend the domain or manually verify the information successfully
within 15 days of certain actions, such as in case the annual Whois
Data Reminder email
message bounces with an error, or information was recently updated.

Therefore, your domain registrars often title it an ICANN verification message.
