No, I assume the ice is in the water. Just because the "sea level" in the glass goes down, does not mean the volume is not going up. The area that the Ice is displacing in the water is not part of the water's volume, that's why it's called displaced, when the ice melts, the ice loses part of it's volume displaces less, and the water gains volume.
