Dear Carl,
the problem is that IETF and IAB do not want to accept the real world.
http://www.interfax.cn/showfeature.asp?aid=10717
And the real  world is catching up. The USG is in a real world. 
Their, our world.

What to do now?
- to ignore? possibly losing control on the IANA.
- to adapt in creating an IETF server? possibly creating a mess for 
nothing if they do not sell? worse if they sell?
- lto ead in reviewing the architecture towards a fully distributed 
network with concerted IANA, one a country? a language?

NOT an easy choice. But a choice which has to be made.
