Sticking up for IANA...

We've requested IANA add AAAA records for some of our TLD name 
servers.  Following the same procedure as making any other change to 
our delegation information we have had no surprises.  And the AAAA's 
were added in a timely manner.

It makes sense to me.  If I ask someone to slave my zone, I'm placing 
(perhaps implicit) trust that they will operate the server in a 
responsible way.  I don't have the prerogative  to tell the other 
person how to run their server but I have the prerogative to withdraw 
the slave request if I an unhappy with the way they operate the 
server.  It makes sense to me that if you are operating a slave for 
someone, they get to be notified of the changes you make before they 
go into effect.

Even if it may take time to contact all the zones administrators.
