The root problem with your analysis is that the IETF/IAB had a large
role in the establishment of ICANN and in blessing its actions.
Even were that once true (and it isn't really the case), I'd say it is
far from clear that the discussion here serves any purpose. Even if
the IETF had a potential role (which is also far from clear), it would
be unreasonable to have a discussion of this heat and length on the
main IETF list.
