Could you elaborate some on the above concepts?  I understand how there is 
potential for consultation with such advisory committees if considered 
appropriate by the ICANN Board (and as provided for in the ASO Global Policy 
Development process), but the more typical method of engagement is directly 
in the policy development processes taking place in each RIR region... in 
this way, the input is considered closer to those affected by the outcome.  

Similarly, I am not aware of any ICANN advisory committees providing input 
to the IETF regarding issues in protocol parameter registry administration;
any/all parties with concerns are encouraged to participate in the relevant 
IETF working group and/or last call process to make sure their concerns are 
heard in a timely manner.

I guess I'm trying to understand what "IANA stewardship" responsibilities
the various ICANN advisory groups may feel with respect to the IP registry
and technical protocol parameter spaces?  Do you see it with respect to the
policy development aspect or policy administration/IANA registry operations?

I do not believe it does; my reading of the charter indicates that anyone 
can make recommendations regarding IANA stewardship and related transition 
matters.

Thanks!
