It's mandated by ICANN.

  Does ICANN actually mandate that a 'click this link' be included in the email, or that an email is sent asking the user to verify data so that a 'please login to your account to verify' would suffice?

    > Does ICANN actually mandate that a 'click this link' be included in the email Probably. It's been a while since I worked in that industry, but ICANN has always been pretty picky about the exact contents of emails. Changing the user workflow in the way you're describing is out of the question. The entire purpose of clicking a link in the email is to confirm that the email was received at the domain's WHOIS contact address. Allowing a user to log in and click "confirm" without clicking a link in the email wouldn't confirm that.
