However, currently these roles and their associated functions are performed by separate, independent organizations (Verisign and ICANN, respectively). By its reference to make changes in the roles associated with Root Zone modification, did the CWG also intend to imply that ICANN or its IFO should not become RZM without being subject to a wide community consultation? The ICG would also like to know what is meant by a wide community consultation? Is it the same as a public comment? Does it also imply wide community consensus?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">A reply prior to ICANN 54 would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Dr. Milton L.
