For bonus points, explain how the numbers side of IANA pays for anything when the RIRs stop funding it?
David already answered more eloquently than I could, so I'll simply add that what he said applied when I was there as well. The IANA is, and always has been a cost center. You don't want to live in an IANA fee-for-service world.
My point was that as a cost center, IANA depends on funding from other sources. The RIRs are a major source of that funding. Owen
