I would recommend that we have a "definitions section" in SM's proposal that
defines the various variants of "community".

Yes, that is correct, the clarification is contained in the TOR. But I guess
we can make this more clearer in the main PDP document.

That refers to the global Internet community. Again, we may need to be more
explicit in the PDP.

Again, that refers to the global Internet community.

That would be any member of the global Internet community present at an
AfriNIC face-to-face public policy meeting. We don’t want to develop AfriNIC
policy in seclusion.

Again, I recommend that we have a "definitions section" in SM's proposal
that defines the various variants of "community" and any other relevant
definitions.
