Not quite for address (read: Internet Numbers) policy:

First we adopt a global policy that says how the IANA registry should
look like. Then we ask the IANA to implement it.

So far this has worked perfectly.

In the unlikely event that the IANA should not follow global address
policy, we currently have to ask the NTIA (part of the US Department of
Commerce) to make the IANA comply with global address policy. The NTIA
holds the IANA service contract and therefore is the party that can
enforce it. NB: The oversight of the US executive branch is with the US
legislative and judiciary.

The whole discussion about this transition is about what mechanism will
replace this contract *should* the NTIA follow through and not extend it.

It appears to me that a straightforward replacement in the area of
address polict would be for the RIRs to hold the contract. Oversight is
already implemented thorough our existing mechanisms of regional and
global policy making and implementation.

Nothing to it really ..... ;-)
