Philip, I believe that the term 'overarching" is used because that is specifically what ICANN Staff used in referring to the four overarching issues, two of which are included. Chuck

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 names
Do 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
