[CCWG-ACCT] Terminology for the ICANN trinity

[Nigel Roberts]

Whilst I agree that these distinctions are needed, I would suggest that 
in British English the word 'organisation' would be more likely to be 
interpreteted as "the whole".

It's a goto word for reporters when something is not entirely clear.

If we mean staff, let's say 'Staff'.
