<p class="MsoNormal">&gt;&gt;&nbsp; Make it as simple as possible so that ICANN outsiders will understand it.<br>
<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; Thanks to the 1000&#43; acronyms ICANN has created enough confusion not only among the &quot;people in the street&quot; who arer using domainnames but also among Internet policy makers who are not ICANN insiders but have to deal with implications conming fro domainnames.<br>
<br>
Yes - where possible I prefer we use terminology in common use in the wider community.<br>
<br>
I would generally think that &quot;organization&quot; or &quot;corporation&quot; refers to Board, staff, and contractors.<br>
