Frr those not familiar with the facts:  The IAHC was an IANA-sponsored 
activity and focused solely on gTLD expansion.  It had nothing to do with 
the root and it always affirmed IANA authority over the root.  The POC/CORE 
activity was not a separate activity but was the direct follow-on from the 
IAHC proposal.  It, was also approved by IANA and affirmed IANA's authority.

All of the other efforts to create independent roots were just that, 
independent.  They ad nothing ad all to do with IANA, other that their 
choosing to include pointers to the IANA TLDs,
