No group has a service relationship with “IANA”. All the service relationships are with ICANN as the IANA functions operator.

This is only because NTIA currently awards the IANA contract to ICANN. The NTIA and its IANA contract are going away.

Ergo, we have to treat the IANA as a separate thing that is not inherently bound to ICANN.
