Given that the IANA has been performing its tasks correctly, moving it will not
meaningfully change the present situation or outcomes.
On the other hand, if the problem is that the DNS community does not have an
independent voice with which to engage ICANN as a partner (rather than only
having internal accountability mechanisms as deigned by the Board), that is a
different situation and likely require something other than just moving the IANA
to address.

See above.
