[CWG-Stewardship] update on DT X Separation Process

I don't think that is quite correct. Certainly, with or without ICANN 
moving the RZM away from the current IANA, the IETF and RIRs could in 
theory decide to stop using IANA and move their registries to TGNIITS 
(The Great New IANA in the Sky).

I do not know the implication of the RIRs moving to TGNIITS. We still 
have the ASO in ICANN, and they still in theory recommend address 
policy to the ICANN Board. It is less clear whether the RIR agreement 
with TGNIITS requires them to abide by ICANN directives related to 
addresses. If it does, it is still business as usual for us. If the 
new agreement with TGNIITS does NOT require adherance to our policy, 
then it would be interesting who they have replacing us.

So the question is less about separation and more on whose authority 
are we doing what we are now doing. And I don't think there is a real 
answer other than one based on history.

But I do not think that it truly hinges on where the current IANA 
function resides, as long as the other agreements, written and more 
importantly unwritten, do not change.
