I'd ask you to read those sections of the IANA contract which require the contractor to cooperate with any successor and to ensure a smooth transition, namely C.7.3 and I.61 of the current IANA functions contract between ICANN and the NTIA. 

In effect, we have been living with your "potentially disruptive" situation for more than a decade. 

I would like to hear more about how individual internet users are helped by a situation in which there is no recourse if the current IANA contractor either becomes incompetent or uses its control of the IaNA functions to circumvent bottom up policy making.
