+1 to at least calling out stub resolvers, but Andrew's non-list formulation is 
better.

Let me be more blunt than Andrew: an IETF WG cannot work as a "liaison" to 
anyone. The IETF has liaisons to ICANN (and bless them for doing that somewhat 
thankless task!). ICANN should not expect that any WG would be a direct point 
of contact for ICANN work at all.
