The Swift observation of GRB 060614, as well as the catalog analysis by Norris and Bonnell [1], opened the door ``on a new Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) classification scheme that straddles both long and short bursts'' [2]. Within the ``fireshell'' model for the Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) we define a ``canonical GRB'' light curve with two sharply different components: the Proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted when the optically thick fireshell of electron-positron plasma originating the phenomenon reaches transparency, and the afterglow, emitted due to the collision between the remaining optically thin fireshell and the CircumBurst Medium (CBM). We here outline our ``canonical GRB'' scenario, which implies three different GRB classes: the ``genuine'' short GRBs, the ``fake'' or ``disguised'' short GRBs and the other (so-called ``long'') GRBs. We also outline some implications for the theoretical interpretation of the Amati relation.
