Actually, IANA didn't really decline. They were never asked. The IESG
suggested that IANA was not best suited to the task, so we took the
reference to them out of the document and began to look elsewhere for a
registrar.

Hi
I'm curious what IANA's decline of becoming a registration authority
means. Does that mean IANA does not like being referred to as an
authority? or do they think DNS should not be used for other purposes
than domain naming?
I would appreciate if you keep us informed of this topic.
