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. thanks a. On 27 May 2009, at 11:13, Philip Sheppard wrote:
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" ?
