This, of course, is the permission that Crocker and Crispin so
adamantly insist was never given, and Walsh so adamantly insists
was given without authority to do so.

Ultimately, ICANN's decisions will take into account IANA's
previous actions, and ICANN's liability (or lack thereof) for
them. There's no use arguing them here (nor do I wish to do so
any longer), they'll either make a difference or they won't. I,
for one, am content to wait and see.
