[bestbits] [CCWG-ACCT] Do we need a unified post-transition IANA?

Hello,

While it's fine to move this to appropriate list. It may be helpful to
indicate that 3 lists are involved in this so it may be good to discuss the
issue with the individual OCs.

That said, I am certain the ship has sailed on this particular question in
that  ICG has completed its process (well almost) in producing a single
proposal where each OCs have proposed a clear separation process
post-transition and can indeed implement whenever required.
