[Internal-cg] Further revisions of the RZM question

[Mueller, Milton L]

QUESTION FOR THE NAMES OC:

Based on comments received in the ICG's public comment period, the ICG seeks clarification from the CWG on the following matter. Paragraph 1158 in the CWG portion of the transition proposal (Part 1) notes that the RZM and the IANA functions operator are separate "roles" with distinct functions. 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 the IFO should not become the RZM without the proposal to make that change first 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 period? Does it also imply that wide community consensus would be necessary before making the change? The CWG is requested to provide comment or clarification for any further action, as appropriate.
