In this context, the "thing" we (or at least I) have been discussing is whether or not the US government has exceeded its oversight role with respect to root zone management.  In the .IQ case, the redelegation request never even got to the US government -- it was held up in the (documented) IANA process prior to a request for authorization.

Or are you suggesting that the oversight body should intercede to violate documented consensus policies and processes? On what grounds?

Sorry, I don't follow.  How could this possibly be a transgression/abuse of oversight authority if the request never got to the point in which oversight would be applied?

Well, an actual example in which the US government exceeded its oversight role with respect to root management might help.
