When I was at ICANN and general manager of IANA, I performed the "Director of Security" role mentioned in the IANA functions contract. There was also a separate Security group focused on stuff like physical security, IT-related security, etc. After I left, Rod created the CSO role and hired Jeff Moss (I presume he is the "'sworn member' of the US government's Homeland Security Advisory Committee") into it, however I don't think much has changed structurally -- the IANA 'Director of Security' role is different than the ICANN Corporate CSO role.
