Looking at the situation from my end of the stick, this statement is a bit simplistic or at least incomplete. First of all, on one end there is a cummunity of customers which does watch the RIRs, too. And on the other end: who/what watches the IANA and ICANN? This is where I do see more single points of failure, and "procedures", "double-checks" and "delays" than I see the risks with the RIRs. This is not to be taken as a support statement for giving away everything at once (whatever it is :-) - but a geographically and culturally distributed system is in my opinion much more robust than a nationally or hierarchicvally controlled setup - and being constrained by just *one* particular jurisdiction.
