[Internal-cg] Questions for the CWG on RZM

[Mueller, Milton L]

Here are my proposed questions. The second one reflects all the edits we discussed at the face to face meeting, though there will probably still be some quibbles with it. The first is a new one.

2 RZM QUESTIONS FOR THE NAMES OC:

1.	Due to concerns expressed in the public comment period, ICG asks the CWG-Stewardship to confirm that the Verisign/ICANN proposal for revising Root Zone Management arrangements after the elimination of NTIA's authorization role meets the CWG's requirements

2.	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.
