This is a very valid point which i believe we all share however i can say that possibility can be said by any organisation (including the RIRs) however what is important and gives relief is the internal mechanism that allows for recovery  and i would think that is what we should fixing.

We don't keep a cutlass in preparation for a possible headache, we keep first aid drugs which we ingest into the same body. We should task ICANN to provide those first aids and not scaring it with a cutlas which will only worsen the headache
