How hard is it to inform IANA that a name server is no longer operational?

How hard is it to supply the correct IP addresses, credentials and update
ACLs to allow zones to be transferred?

Nothing listed here should take more than minutes to fix but most/all
of these issues listed here have been going on for months.  The DNS is
supposed to be loosely coherent not permanently incoherent.
