Perhaps we need a different approach, if people feel strongly about that
particular phrase in this response, because in this context we are
talking about the DNS protocol, and that requires a lot of coordination
when we make changes, and perhaps it's not just with ICANN or the IANA
functions operator.  So...

I suggest then:

          The IETF specifies the DNS protocol.  From time to time
          there have been and will be updates to that protocol.    As we
          make changes we will broadly consult the operational
          community about the impact of those changes, as we have
          done in the past.
