Thanks a million to Avri for raising this issue!

I believe that HR pen-holders and the whole HR subgroup already faced the ambiguity re term ICANN and the lack of agreed terminology while drafting the Human Rights FoI. Or better to say, while drafting the second part of it, which is still work in progress. Would be great to have at least some agreement on consistent terminology before we finalise it. Then the subgroup can edit the document accordingly.  

AOB slot on the agenda of course wouldn't be enough to agree on this, but at least we can discuss the way forward.

Warm regards,

Tanya

Good point.

ICANN the corporation now seems to prefer "ICANN Org" or "ICANN Organization."  I have tended to call it "ICANN Inc." or sometimes "ICANN Corp."

I'm not sure if this means that the unholy trinity is merely "ICANN", or is it the "ICANN Ecosystem" or the "ICANN System" or the "ICANN Environment" or something else....  Personally, I suggest that it NOT be merely "ICANN," since that is ambiguous.  

Whatever we decide, it should be clearly noted and defined at the beginning of the document.

It would be good to decide this soon so that all documents can be edited accordingly while they are still in subgroup drafting.

Will be very useful.
But will certainly need more time to sort that out that just in AOB ;)
Tall to you soon.
