<div>Good clarification, but it is concerning that this (mis)conception is being heard outside the ccwg. Could we do a better job in terms of messaging? Are there legally and functionally equivalent terms ("delegate") that are less prone to creating confusion?</div>
<div><br>
Thank you,

<div>I just wanted to make a comment as rapporteur for the community empowerment working party.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is some discussion outside our ccwg and outside our working party that the discussion of membership as an option to empower the community could lead to an Individualised membership system, where interested members of the public would join ICANN.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That is not right.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That is not what is on the table.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Membership might be a vehicle to give ICANN's multi stakeholder community more power within ICANN. It would do that through structures that relate to ICANN as it is today, a collection of constituencies organised through SOs and ACs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The organisation will remain a bottom up, multistakeholder one. The work through SOs and ACs will continue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nobody has proposed sweeping this away and replacing it with individual membership, recruitment drives, and so on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Trust this helps.</div>
<div><br>
