It's actually a new and revised one :-) - which purposely only covers
global policy, and none of the fun bits about local rules for returning
address space or transfers.

Since the proposal doesn't actually talk that much about *ICANN* (except
for initial adoption of this policy), I'm not sure if we have a problem
here - if the ICANN function is moved elsewhere, this policy will go with
it.

The only problematic bit is timing, that is, we take half a year to 
finish reaching consensus, and right in the middle the IANA function 
is no longer at ICANN.   When is the contract renewal due?
