I suspect this might be too simplistic of a view.

My reading of RFC 2860 section 4.3 suggests that the responsibility for the administration of the domain names is explicitly "outside of the scope of this MOU" unless the assignments are for "technical uses" (the definition of which are undefined, with only inverse DNS lookups being provided as an example).

RFC 6761 allows for the preemption of _any_ top-level domain name. This would appear to go beyond "technical uses" and get into policy issues regardless of how "technical uses" might be reasonably defined or who does the defining.

This would seem to suggest the IETF process supersedes all other processes and implies that the ICANN naming community should have participated in the discussion related to RFC 6761. This gets into "Beware the Leopard" territory[1].

In another area, I know in the past folks in select portions of the operational and RIR community simply rejected this approach when it came to address policy (I'll also note that historically, the IETF has in fact refused to accept input from the operational and RIR communities related to address policy: TLAs anyone?).
