Dear Patrik,
however happy I would be to deffer to your wishes, I am lost at 
understanding what they are?

1. xyz.icann.org is a domain name, as is icann.org and org. Three 
different domain names.
2. in these domain names "org" is their TLD or suffix or first level label.
3. xyz, icann, and org are respectively their upper level label. I 
claim the capacity to call them their prefixes.

If you have a problem with that I can also call them their ULL, and 
their TLD their FLL. However, this sounds less multilinguistic and 
unecessarily sophisticated?

Best.
