RFC1591 has Internic as the decision-making body, with "regional
registries [such as RIPE NCC and APNIC] enlisted to assist in the
administration of the DNS". So you'd propose that AfriNIC was involved
when considering if South Sudan should get a new cctld?

You seem to be implying that they forgot to allow for the possibility
that the "designated manager" might change?

But the rfc says:

      For any transfer of the designated manager trusteeship from one
      organization to another, the higher-level domain manager (the IANA
      in the case of top-level domains) must receive communications from
      both the old organization and the new organization that assure the
      IANA that the transfer in mutually agreed, and that the new
      organization understands its responsibilities.

Giving that process the name "re-delegation" doesn't seem to me to be
controversial.
