"Internet community" and "technical community" (Global) #37

Closed mferguson-rpc closed 11 months ago

mferguson-rpc commented 11 months ago

Throughout the text, we see some uses of "Internet community" and "technical community".
For the ease of the reader, should these be made consistent and/or defined?

Original: A failure because of a cut cable, power outage, or failed server is well-understood by the technical community, but qualitatively different from the issues encountered when a core Internet function has a gatekeeper.

Original: In particular, market concentration does not always indicate competition issues, so what might be considered undesirable centralization by the technical community might not attract competition regulation.

Original: If the Internet community does not make that effort, it is likely that regulators will turn to other sources for interoperability specifications.

Original: When those interfaces are open standards, change control resides with the Internet community instead of remaining in proprietary hands, further enhancing stability and enabling (but not ensuring) decentralization.

I think 'technical community' is appropriate in each usage here.
