The CRISP Team's proposal anticipates that coordination may be needed
if different OCs ever choose different IANA functions operators, and
says that such coordination should be distinct from the stewardship
transition process.  I quote from the proposal:

   This proposal assumes that specific IANA customers (i.e., the number
   community, the protocol parameter community, and the name community) will
   have independent arrangements with the IANA Functions Operator related to
   maintenance of the specific registries for which they are responsible. At
   the same time, the Internet Number Community wishes to emphasize the
   importance of communication and coordination between these communities to
   ensure the stability of the IANA services. Such communication and
   coordination would be especially vital should the three communities reach
   different decisions regarding the identity of the IANA Functions Operator
   after the transition. Efforts to facilitate this communication and
   coordination should be undertaken by the affected communities via
   processes distinct from this stewardship transition process.
