I am kind of curious of the ICANN/IANA position on this?

I would be astonished if ICANN had a position. For one thing, they have no provision for dealing with competing IP registries since the issue has never come up and, until this strange situation, seemed vanishingly unlikely. For another, they are extremely allergic to anything that might even possibly involve them in a lawsuit. R's, John
