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'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>
"Corporation" (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 "corporation."<br>
<br>
I believe that Goran is using Organization to refer to the "staff"<br>
(CEO on down, both employees and those who may be engaged on an<br>
"independent contractor" or "consultant" 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's use of "organization" (once we<br>
confirm exactly how he uses it and what the "boundaries" 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>
"border" 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>
>> Make it as simple as possible so that ICANN outsiders will<br>
understand it.<br>
<br>
>> Thanks to the 1000+ acronyms ICANN has created enough<br>
confusion not only among the "people in the street" 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 "organization" or "corporation"<br>
refers to Board, staff, and contractors.<br>
