I believe that it would make sense for the ICG to have some sort 
of monitoring and reporting role during implementation.  Something 
like ticking off items on a to-do list and publishing the status.

However, I think that that is outside the ICG's charter, so the 
ICG should not unilaterally take that role.

If the OCs were to ask the ICG to do that, then it would probably be OK.
