+1 and that oversight is what i think is required to be developed during
this transitioning process.

I almost +1'd this but on the second thought; i don't think combining the 2
functions (i.e categorising the ICANN policy part as a function and IANA as
another function) would help provide a good backup mechanism incase there
is need to do so in future. They should remain structurally and
functionally separate (not institutional but departmental wise) and the
oversight process for IANA should be multistakeholder based and immune in
nature (especially from any possible ICANN leadership Veto). When there is
a need to challenge its immunity, then it should come from the community.
