There is a serious problem when the same term is used to mean two different
things. It leads to a lot of confusion, when in an argument one person is using
one meaning and the other person, the second meaning.<br>
<br>
Can we try and use two different terms for these two categories.<br>
<br>
We could consistently use <br>
<br>
A. IAB (Internet Administration Bodies) for those "</span>those
_organizations_ that focus on work, often in a partially coordinated
manner, intended to insure the technical integrity and technical development of
the Internet." I would add - 'and participate in the administration /
governance of the internet'. The IGC submission in the feb consultations
clearly covered this group when it stated that the participation of IABs in MAG
should not be at the cost of CS participation'<br>
<br>
B. and use 'technical experts' (i am sure better names are possible) for
individuals - these experts can belong to Govt or Business or CS groups (as
also suggested by Raul). <br>
<br>

ps- Still waiting from responses on this question from Suresh and McTim..<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><br>
<br>
and it is those people who make the rules. we don't get to decide how
many stakeholder groups there are in things that derive from the WSIS
decisions. we can argue for change, but we alone do not make the rules. <br>
<br>
the WSIS Tunis Agenda defined 3 groups plus 2 cross-cutting groups. so
within this environment we seem to be stuck with 3 stakeholder groups and 2
cross-cutting groups. <br>
<br>
btw, in another thread someone asked for a definition of the Internet technical
Community. in addition to what i have written abut it before i define it
as: <br>
<br>
those _organizations_ that focus on work, often in a partially
coordinated manner, intended to insure the technical integrity and technical
development of the Internet. <br>
<br>
the term can also be applied to those individuals, whether they come from
government, business or civil society who devote their lives to the cause of
Internet technical integrity and technical development and who work with or for
these organizations. yes, i see this as somewhat problematic and at the
time of WSIS argued for a 4th house - the Internet Technical Community.
but as history shows, this was rejected and thus we, pragmatically, need to
live with what we've got until the ground rules change. <br>
<br>
and I agree with Raul when he says: <br>
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In that case we have o let anybody to decide to which group
they feel closer. <br>
Maybe some people in the so called "technical community" feel closer
from the business sector, and others, like me feels part of civil society
organizations space. <o:p></o:p></p>
