Hi,<br>
<br>
My normal inclination would have been to use Organization to mean all of<br>
us in the multistakeholder trinity (board, community and staff) as many<br>
have argued.  But since Goran was seemingly set on his usage, I am<br>
worried about us building in a permanent confusion/ambiguity.  Thus my<br>
search for another way to refer to it.  It is also why I included Staff<br>
as an aka for ICANN Organization, trying to keep our standard usage as<br>
well as allow for the CEO&#39;s usage.<br>
<br>
Trying to be pragmatic and not ideological about this.<br>

I think it makes sense to refer to the *legal entity* known as the<br>
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers as the<br>
&quot;Corporation&quot; (which is a term of US law (not just California law)<br>
used for non-profit incorporated entities (including public interest<br>
entities, charities, foundations, membership organizations, etc.)).<br>
<br>
Where we are referring to something other than the that legal entity,<br>
we should not use &quot;corporation.&quot;<br>
<br>
I believe that Goran is using Organization to refer to the &quot;staff&quot;<br>
(CEO on down, both employees and those who may be engaged on an<br>
&quot;independent contractor&quot; or &quot;consultant&quot; basis), but not to the Board<br>
(which is also part of the Corporation), but we may want to clarify.<br>
<br>
I agree with Stephen Deerhake that we need to be mindful of existing<br>
terms and use them as our basis.  The corollary to that is to avoid<br>
using any currently-used terms differently than their current use --<br>
so we should not contradict Goran&#39;s use of &quot;organization&quot; (once we<br>
confirm exactly how he uses it and what the &quot;boundaries&quot; of his<br>
definition are).<br>

    It is good to work on terminology but it should be a common effort<br>
    and reflecting real language use. ICANN-speak is already a strong<br>
    &quot;border&quot; joining our community. Some ontology work can help.<br>
    I would prefer organization - corporation is very much a term of<br>
    California law not much used outside for a public purpose association.<br>

    Betreff: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Terminology for the ICANN trinity<br>
<br>
    &gt;&gt;  Make it as simple as possible so that ICANN outsiders will<br>
    understand it.<br>
<br>
    &gt;&gt;  Thanks to the 1000+ acronyms ICANN has created enough<br>
    confusion not only among the &quot;people in the street&quot; who arer using<br>
    domainnames but also among Internet policy makers who are not<br>
    ICANN insiders but have to deal with implications conming fro<br>
    domainnames.<br>
<br>
    Yes - where possible I prefer we use terminology in common use in<br>
    the wider community.<br>
<br>
    I would generally think that &quot;organization&quot; or &quot;corporation&quot;<br>
    refers to Board, staff, and contractors.<br>
