"according to" is as ambiguous as "proportional to", but it is not misleading.

How about replacing "comprehend" with "consider"?

Understood.
Note that there is a difference between bringing up an issue for discussion or presenting only an very initial proposal and presenting a detailed, more or less final, proposal.

The wording "What is WG position on addressing items not in Top-25?" is likely to be understood as referring to issues that have already been brought up, and people may not think about the fact that new issues may also come up.
