Hi,I appreciate the topics that are coming in and will probably prepare the poll after tomorrow's council meeting.
I was using overarching, as a category heading that corresponded to the one the Implementation Staff was using for these topics.
But then again I mistakenly put geographic names under that heading.Maybe I will just use something mild like Critical Issues: and leave determination of whether they are gating issues or not to the conversation (assuming these are the preferred topics for the diner). I will probably follow the practice of the last few meetings of picking a main topic and a dessert topic based on the poll.

Avri, I support your list and the suggestions to date. I have one question on vocabulary. You use the word "overarching" in: - Pending issue in restructuring - overarching issue for new gTLDs - IRT - overarching issue for new gTLDs - geographic namesDo you intend to mean all-embracing, or more precisely, that these are issues which in Council's opinion require resolution before TLD expansion can proceed? If this is the case (and I would agree) then maybe a clearer term is needed.May I suggest either "threshold" or perhaps better "critical-path" ? Philip
