what happens when there is disagreement in the eDNS community and someone decides to break off and for Yet Another DNS Coalition? or are you assuming such a thing will never happen?
It has already happened. The Alternic has broken off from the eDNS community and no longer recognizes their TLDs. And name.space never did join the eDNS community and has always had TLDs that conflict with eDNS. Now Karl Denninger has imposed some new rules on eDNS to place limits on people who are trying to create more than 10 new TLDs. The universe in a microcosm... In any event, the US government seems quite happy to let the 114 signatories of the gTLD MoU work things out even though eDNS supporters have vigorously lobbied for US government intervention.
if there are multiple IANA blessed NICs, then so be it. they will operate only as long as they follow the guidelines set down for them by a higher authority with no financial stake in the game.
