I meant "generic top-level domains" as referenced in the description 
of the GNSO in Article X, Section 1 of the ICANN Bylaws.
If one wanted to delve deeper than that, which I do not think is 
necessary, I *think* that it is all TLDs except ccTLDs and the few 
heritage TLDs controlled outside of ICANN (.edu, .int, .gov).
