David,

as a former IANA General Manager (unless your are sworn to some 
secrecy), what are the technical duties that justify a US's sworn 
oversight of the IANA?

To make the question simpler, if we were to propose a "IANA MS 
enhanced cooperation"  that would be made secure and neutral by 
members (government, ICC, ITU and Civil Society organizations) 
running their own http://iana.cctld sites in their national 
language(s), with the addition of local/specialized tables and 
documentation, the translation of RFCs, national laws, rules, best 
practices, etc. what would be the resulting technical 
difficulties/risk for the network?
