[discuss] IANA

> I'm not sure it's correct to give the impression that ICANN is still operating the IANA function under the contract awarded to them by DoC when ICANN was formed. There have been a number of new contracts since then, which ICANN had to pitch for in a semi-competitive environment.

I did not want to give that impression, so maybe the text was unclear. There has indeed been new contracts, including, for instance, the one between the IETF and ICANN about protocol parameters IANA service.
