Avri,
Thank you for a useful piece of work, most of which seems to me to be easily agreeable.
I do see a problem with your definition of ICANN Empowered Community.
You suggest: "ICANN Empowered Community aka ICANN EC : The representatives of the ICANN Corporation assigned by the various SOAC to the Empowered Community function"
The Bylaws state (Article 6.1): "(a) The Empowered Community ("EC") shall be a nonprofit association formed under the laws of the State of California consisting of the ASO, the ccNSO (as defined in Section 10.1), the GNSO (as defined in Section 11.1), the ALAC (as defined in Section 12.2(d)(i)) and the GAC (each a "Decisional Participant" or "associate," and collectively, the "Decisional Participants") [...]"
These are inconsistent.
The Bylaws define the Empowered Community as a composite legal entity, that is comprised of the named SOACs. You give that name to "representatives", i.e. individuals.
I don't think there is even such a thing as "representatives" of the SOACs in the Empowered Community process, but even if there were, there is a distinction between individuals and the entity.
I don't think we should encourage people to use the term Empowered Community in a manner inconsistent with the formal Bylaws definition; this will only generate more of the confusion your paper seeks to resolve.
Kind Regards,
Malcolm
