I cited the authority for each step.

A statement that "X is responsible for Y" does not mean that X has no
other responsibilities.

In fact, of course, the responsibilities and powers of the NC are
spelled out in detail in a number of specific provisions in the
Bylaws, some of which I referenced.  For example, the NC has the
responsibility for passing recommendations to the ICANN Board -- that
is not "managing the consensus process".  It also has the
responsibility (and the power) to vote on proposals -- that really
isn't part of "managing the consensus process" either -- it is an
independent decision step.
