[CCWG-ACCT] Terminology for the ICANN trinity

[Sam Lanfranco]

The term Internet ecosystem is here to stay.
In contemporary use the term ecosystem has a wider meaning that just the 
ecological.
It has the specific use as"a biological community of interacting 
organisms and their physical environment"
But it has a general use as "a complex network or interconnected 
system", e.g. "Silicon Valley's entrepreneurial ecosystem"
The prefix "eco" has Greek and Latin roots in "Household" or "house" and 
is the source of the name for my profession "Economist".
