4. I do not understand your statement (below) "as was foredained by the ICG?" When and where did ICG "foredain" the idea of splitting IANA?


By dividing the topic as they did, they precluded any solution that focused on maintaining a single IANA. By creating a framework that precluded integrated models, they fore ordained, in my opinion,  that an operational split in IANA would persist at the conceptual level. 

Adding that the Protocol operational community has, and wishes to maintain,  a contract that says they could split IANA  with 6 months notice means that all solutions for the IANA Stewardship Transition will be subject to splitting as the solution to Protocols and Numbers issues. I beleive we need solutions that help make that less likely to happen.
