Based on the response the IETF original sent, your text, above here,
seems compatible with the preference that seems to have emerged from ICANN.

I took the earlier IANAPlan discussion as deciding that ownership of the
name was not worth a possibly contentious process, rather than an IETF
desire not to hold the name.

In operational terms, if the IETF has to change its IANA-related
registry activities to use a name other than IANA.org, it will cost us
effort.  So the benefit of having the IETF Trust hold the registration
for IANA.org is that the IETF is not likely to suffer inconvenience with
respect to the name, if the IETF-related IANA registry operation is
moved.  Of course, it might not suffer any if the name is held by
another entity (other than ICANN) but the risk is higher.
