Not sure what you mean by DOC origination.

I do beleive, as I have said elsewhere, that DOC would just as soon hand the responsibilities over.  Just not to another governments or to a intergovernmental institution.

I don't beleive that ICANN controls cIr, but rather that it control one form of names and has some influence over IP numbering, though by no means controlling inlfuence - talk to the RIRs about the control of numbers.

As for ICANN it is in process of becoming a genuinely multistakeholder organization with a soft multistakeholder oversight model.  But I also beleive that it is not quite there yet and is not ready yet for full responsibility of the IANA process.  I see NTIA as the responsible adult in the room, and I see that responsibility as a holdover from the past. I think that the more of the stakeholder get involved in ICANN processes instead of judging it from outside, the better chance we will have of actually achieving  multistakeholder control over ICANN's narrow bit of turf.
