I was providing these as examples of better, more coherent definitions. I have never liked citing to Wikipedia as the authoritative definition... I would also caution how exhaustive our definitions should be. ----- Original Message ----- From: narelle.clark@accan.org.au To: paf@frobbit.se, kuoweiwu@gmail.com Cc: internal-cg@icann.org Sent: Wednesday, October 1, 2014 2:50:54 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [Internal-cg] ICG FAQ .. I hesitate to say that it is often best to point to an authoritative source for definitions, rather than come up with one's own. It may be safer and easier to do that here, ie point to a full definition elsewhere and have the shortest, most succinct version on our FAQ we can. Narelle

In general, if people want questions and/or answers added to the FAQ, please do type and do send text. Not until people do so we can discuss whether it is to be added.
Personally, I do not think we need to add definitions. It adds to the confusion.
Specifically terms like "The IANA Database" that I honestly have no idea what it is.
The important thing is for whoever is sending things *to* us makes clear what they mean with whatever terminology they use.

I will suggest to describe all about IANA function (provide NTIA’s contract and other for “complete” information).

I would go further, and suggest we should have working definitions for:
The IANA Function The IANA Database The IANA Operator (or IANA Functions Operator)

I think our IANA definition is confusing. IANA is an acronym that should be included in the definmtion and then we should describe functions that fall under that work. I looked at some definitions from What Is and Wikipedia which i attach... On 9/30/2014 9:06 AM, Milton L Mueller wrote:

I think it's a bit negative and I don't think it adds ..
JPerhaps it does sound a bit negative, but I don’t want people to get the (wrong) idea that they can short-circuit the process and appeal to us to get their ideas implemented. Can you think of a better way to phrase it?
