I am not sure we discussed this in detail, but in my opinion the key
point here is whether we consider the relationship between the RIRs and
the IANA operator as customer - service provider, or peers. In the
former case a contract with SLAs seems more appropriate, in the latter -
the AoC.

The view of customer-provider relationship also matches the IETF position.

We may still consider an AoC or an MoU with the IETF covering shared IP
registry management and reverse DNS, but it is a separate issue.
