Even if I agreed on most of the definitions in the Google docs, I still think that the easiest is to call thinks by their simple names ICANN Organization for the whole 3 parts ICANN Community for The community (SOs/ACs and the broader community) Empowered Community for the sole designator of ICANN ICANN staff for those payed to do the work of ICANN ICANN Board for the 16 members of the Board ICANN Corporation for the legal structure of ICANN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: +216 98 330 114 +216 52 385 114 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make it as simple as possible so that ICANN outsiders will understand it.
Thanks to the 1000+ acronyms ICANN has created enough confusion not only among the "people in the street" who arer using domainnames but also among Internet policy makers who are not ICANN insiders but have to deal with implications conming fro domainnames.

Whilst I agree that these distinctions are needed, I would suggest that in British English the word 'organisation' would be more likely to be interpreteted as "the whole".
It's a goto word for reporters when something is not entirely clear.
If we mean staff, let's say 'Staff'.

Agree with Malcolm's points. I would suggest:
ICANN Inc. to refer to the corporation including both the staff and the Board. ICANN Organization to refer to the staff only (from the CEO down) but NOT the Board
Also agree that the Empowered Community is the entity. EC SOAC Appointees (or Representatives) could be used for the individuals serving as the "body" of the EC at any given time.
Also, it's possible that John Curran was asking where the IETF and its participants would fit (i.e., are they within any "sphere" defined by a particular term?). In that sense, similar to Avri, I would say that the IETF and its participants are members of the ICANN Wider Community, individually and as IETF.
I'm mulling over whether there is something in the relationship between ICANN and IETF that makes that a less than perfect fit, but it's eluding my grasp....

Hi,
The only goal is to find standard words for ICANN and its trinity of staff, board & community that can be used in the WS2 documents. So I am not sure that the IETF, which has no role needing description in the WS2 documents is relevant to the exercise.
I suppose the IETF, in at least some sense, as individuals and possibly even in the aggregate, would, if they were willing, be part of the ICANN wider community. Perhaps, though, the absence of a PSO is a flaw in the current implementation and a complicating factor in the answer.

Avri -
To aid in my understanding of the proposed terms, how would the IETF and its participants be characterized per these definitions?
Thanks! /John
