And in this case, this is exactly the point. IANA is the

it that participates in the IETF.
I agree with Sam: this is completely the wrong approach. The
registries that IANA maintains have obvious constituencies. The vast
majority have the IETF as a constituency; only a few (the DNS root
zone) have the whole Internet as a constituency.
If a different SDO such asks IANA to start maintaining that SDO's
registration, IANA should not let the IESG change the values there,
and at the same time, IANA should not let the other SDO change the
IETF-based registries.
