If IANA has made secret rule changes without going through the same process of rule-making consensus as 1591 did, then whoever makes these secret rule changes is working in breach of the public trust.

If acting in breach of trust the actions are probably void, I wonder whether the public trust status may mean that the beneficiaries can enforce local law?

Does that breach also mean that IANA are open to a challenge that they are unfit under RFC 1591?? <grin>

Does that breach carry over with the obligations and liabilities transferred to IANA2?? <deep in thought>
