In my view, that ought to be made much more clear — and it ought to be tightly
coupled in words with any declaration (CC0 or some edited version of CC0) 
for avoidance of confusion or doubt.  It needs to be crystal clear and totally 
unambiguous.

> On the other hand, with the existing understanding of policy (that we are trying to formalize) anyone can copy the IANA data to their own site, and then ad entries claiming other values on their site.  I do not know of any way we can sensibly change the terms to prevent that.

The goal would be to avoid the situation where someone mis-read the (CC0 or
whatever new) statement to mean that anyone now is permitted to make valid 
allocations/assignments to IANA registries without following the IETF/IANA 
processes.

Is that more clear as a statement of concern ?

Thanks,
