FAA vs. ICAO Aerodromes

I need to do a 10 minute presentation on the differences between the FAA and ICAO aerodromes in a class. Annex 14 is 316 pages, so obviously I can't cover much at all in just 10 minutes. So far I have the general ICAO airspace A-G broken down, one class on each slide, followed by a graphical view of what you can and can't do. So far.. that's it. I think also like mentioning different approach lighting types would be helpful too. However, I can't seem to find out what exactly the differences are. Is there anything else worth mentioning (again, just as a brief overview) of the differences between FAA and ICAO aerodromes? Take it easy on me, it's my first post here, and I'm not even sure it's in the right section. :) Thanks.
 
Not much at all.
Have a look at Canadian airports, and class E airspace for a start.
 
I have a couple slides on how Australia and Germany have modified their airspace from the ICAO standard, I'll add Canada to it too then. Any idea of lighting differences? Or something else not as mind numbing as airspace?
 
in terms of approaches, i'd say that most important difference between ICAO and FAA is in ICAO you have to do it as published, you dont get to pick if you want to fly the barb, 80/260, or HILO
