>> I think that is a good question, and probably worth this group

>> For me personally, I tend to think of the terms in the following way:
>>
>> "ICANN Community" - this is the group of people that participate in the
>> various ICANN working groups via email, phone, or websites,  and attend
>> ICANN meetings.     This group is made up of individuals from GNSO
>> constituencies and stakeholder groups, GAC, SSAC, ALAC, RSSAC, ccTLD
>> representatives, RIR representatives etc.    In my personal view, it is
>> multi-stakeholder in that it includes people from Civil Society, Private
>> Sector, Technical Community including academics, Governments.
>>
>> In addition to that there is a wider community of people that are members
>> of the various organizations that are in turn members of the various groups
>> that comprise the ICANN community.   As an example, I am a member of the
>> Internet Society of Australia (ISOC) which is part of the Asia, Australasia
>> and the Pacific Islands Regional At-Large Organisation (APRALO) which is
>> part of At-large.   ISOC in Australia may send a representative to ICANN
>> meetings.       A business might be a member of a chamber of commerce or
>> business association, which in turn could be a member of the ICANN business
>> constituency,  and that chamber of commerce or business association may
>> send a representative to an ICANN meeting as a member of the ICANN
>> community.   I don't have any specific name for this wider group of people
>> and organizations.
>>
>> Then there is term "public" which is used within the term "global public
>> interest".   In general, I personally think of the public in this context
>> as Internet users.   However you could also consider public  in this
>> context to be all the people of the world.   Even people that don't
>> directly use the Internet as a communication mechanism are probably
>> affected by it in some way.
>>
>> The fundamental responsibility of  the Board of ICANN  is to exercise
>> their judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be the best
>> interests of the global public interest, taking account of the interests of
>> the Internet community as a whole rather than any individual group or
>> interest.    Its primary feedback mechanism for determining the global
>> public interest is the "ICANN community" described above.
