I think this is the correct strategy, BUT, I see as a very active participant 
in ICANN (chair of SSAC) that work in ICANN could be easier if some "more" 
technical standards where developed in IETF, and moved forward along 
standards track, that ICANN can reference. Same with some epp-related issues, 
and also DNS-related, which I must admit I think has stalled in the IETF. 
When that happens, ICANN start to "invent" or at least discuss IETF related 
issues -- which I think is non optimal. But on the other hand, if IETF do not 
move forward, then what should ICANN do?

Something ICANN can do is ask the IETF for specifications. I can't promise 
instant delivery, but it will be slower if we don't know what they need.
