Yes that is correct. However it is not clear how the VeriSign "shoe
wearing" will look like as that particular aspect is out-of-scope for the
CWG;  NTIA indicated there is/will be another process to address that (its
not clear what that process will look like). The CWG proposal made it clear
that whenever that shoe changing needs to be done, it should be determined
by the multistakeholder community. Maintaining the current separation
between the maintainer and operator was proposed. The relationship between
the admin and the maintainer post transition is what is yet to be
determined.

Secondly i hope by ICANN you know it does not mean ICANN staff/board alone.
It meant the entire community including ICANN staff/board

Cheers!
