Hello All,

In following  the discussion on private sector and multi-stakeholder, I note that the document does have a set of definitions and a glossary.

The glossary for example defines multi-stakeholder as :

« The Multistakeholder Approach is an organizational framework or structure for governance and policymaking which aims to bring together all stakeholders to collaborate and participate in the dialogue, decision making and implementation of solutions to identified problems or goals.

The Multistakeholder Model at ICANN, is comprised of a diverse set of stakeholders with an interest in Internet numbering, naming and protocols from around the world who have organized into various Supporting Organizations, Constituencies and Advisory Committees, and agree to operate in an open, bottom-up, consensus-driven, and transparent manner.

The CCWG may wish to also add a definition of "private sector" - to incorporate the concept that this includes businesses, non-profit bodies, individual persons, education institutions etc.

Where a term has a specific definition as defined the glossary - perhaps it could be identified with capital letters or italics in the document.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
