I am wondering why this statement on accountability seems to assume that there is "no linkage" between ICANN accountability and IANA accountability, when, in fact, there is.

"Any linkages between the work of the CWG on the IANA transition and the broader ICANN Accountability Review Process with regard to ICANN policy are outside the scope of this group's work. Accountability for the administration of the IANA functions (i.e., implementation and operational accountability), however, is properly within the scope of this working group."

The ICG charter handled this relationship in a much better way: 

" The IANA stewardship transition process is taking place alongside a parallel and related process on enhancing ICANN accountability. While maintaining the accountability of Internet identifier governance is central to both processes, this group's scope is focused on the arrangements required for the continuance
of IANA functions in an accountable and widely accepted manner after the expiry of the NTIA-ICANN contract. Nevertheless, the two processes are interrelated and interdependent and should appropriately coordinate their work."
