For bonus points, explain how the numbers side of IANA pays for anything when the RIRs stop funding it?

David already answered more eloquently than I could, so I'll simply add that what he said applied when I was there as 
well. The IANA is, and always has been a cost center. You don't want to live in an IANA fee-for-service world.


My point was that as a cost center, IANA depends on funding from other sources.  The RIRs are a major source of that 
funding.
