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
