I think the most widely accepted definition of gTLD is generic top level name 
in contrast to ccTLD.  In that definition sTLDs are a subset of gTLDs.  That is 
certainly the way we define it in the RySG.

Historically, "gTLD" has had two meanings: registries other than sponsored 
TLDs, for which a source of ongoing policy other than a contract with ICANN 
existed, viz sTLDs {.aero,.coop,.museum,.cat,...} and gTLDs 
{.biz,.info,.name,.pro, as well as .com,.org,.net}, and all registries other 
than ccTLDs.

Just to clarify, you mean "g" to have the second meaning, not the first?
