Hi, As I mentioned in another mail, my colleagues on the IAB's IANA evolution program and I have been trying to go through the bylaws text. We've noticed that Section 4.3.j.ii says, "ICANN shall, in consultation with the global Internet community,…" I have looked quickly, and I can't find the exact place where in the Report this text might come from; but I didn't look that carefully. Anyway, since this is apparently a body ICANN is going to consult, it seems like there ought to be a definition of who is the "global Internet community", and I can't find one. (The same thing is repeated in m.ii on p 20.) In subsection n.i, the members of the global Internet community are to develop a process. I don't know how membership is determined there. 4.6.a.i has the same body offering guidance. The term appears in other places, but it usually seems to be a catch-all for "people on the Internet". On the whole, I don't think we believe it is a harmful term, but where there are specific things to be done it seems either a definition or a specific body or set of bodies might be better. (By the way, I'm still going through the document for nits and other such things, which I plan to send laterin a single roll-up. These individual mails are about things where we're not sure where the consistency with the proposal is, and we're trying to understand.) Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
