I think you're confused about the same thing I
was confused about earlier. There seems to be
provision for ICANN, with community input, to
"fire" IANA and find someone else to perform the
functions that IANA will be performing - but
there doesn't seem to be provision for the
reverse (i.e. for IANA to find a different
partner to perform the policy-making functions
ICANN will be performing). Not quite sure why
that is, as in my view the ability to change partners should be symmetrical -
