  Looking at the situation from my end of the stick, this statement
  is a bit simplistic or at least incomplete.

  First of all, on one end there is a cummunity of customers which
  does watch the RIRs, too.

  And on the other end: who/what watches the IANA and ICANN? This is
  where I do see more single points of failure, and "procedures",
  "double-checks" and "delays" than I see the risks with the RIRs.

  This is not to be taken as a support statement for giving away
  everything at once (whatever it is :-) - but a geographically and
  culturally distributed system is in my opinion much more robust
  than a nationally or hierarchicvally controlled setup - and being
  constrained by just *one* particular jurisdiction.
