My question, Seun, is why that is not already covered by implementation of policy. I surely do not have an objection to ICANN allocating and assigning names in the root zone consistent with applicable policy (e.g., New gTLD PDP, RFC 1591 in the case of ccTLDs), but absent that caveat, the addition seems potentially broad.

I have asked Bruce to explain what is encompassed by "the allocation and assignment of names in the root zone” that is not covered by “coordination of the development and implantation of policies.”
SO(Not Bruce): The former is an action item in relation to RZ, the later is means to the former. We may be concerned if just the former is preferred but from your pasted table, I see that both was accommodated. I hope no one would argue that ICANN performs 2 main roles in relation to names; 1. Coordinate development and implementation of policies 2. Allocate names to the root zone So I don't see anything wrong in trying to reflect its actual role if indeed the goal is to ensure clarity on role. Regards
I encourage each of you to study the side-by-side comparison attached to determine for yourself whether the Board’s approach is consistent with the goals of clarifying ICANN’s limited Mission.
