It is unclear to me how defining what a "domain name" is will solve 
problems of structure and process. However - if you really believe it to be 
of paramount importance, you can call for a working group to discuss it.

Yes I did, yes I did, and yes you were. :) This list has not been 
discussed, nor agreed upon - it is a compilation that was the beginning of 
that process. I posted it without editing or commentary. Unfortunately, Rod 
hasn't posted on it since then. My suggestion would be that people who want 
to use this list try and rank the questions in some kind of priority, or 
just start from the top. If enough people think that the topic is part of 
our brief, then it will have substantial discussion - and I will be not 
only amazed, but quite wrong in my understanding of where we're going.

That said,  as a rule of thumb it's generally unproductive to insert a 
second topic into a thread that already has enough material in it for 
substantial dialogue.
