Fair enough.

> 2) Develop a best practices document based on what we do know, qualifying the document on the ground that we received little substantive responses on the issue.  Let's see if there are at least a few Best Practices that we can agree on at this time.

From the TOR...
" - create a best practices document for improving data verification 
based on the information collected that can be applied on a global basis"

I would be reticent to create a best practices document based on the 
opinions of the task force when we do not have sufficient information 
to even determine whether or not best practices actually exist. That 
being said, I believe that we are in a position to make 
recommendations to ICANN that outline further improvements to their 
existing educational, outreach and compliance programs to ensure 
appropriate awareness and support of existing contractual requirements.

Are we expecting more than three constituencies to submit statements? 
Also note that I am not confident that the existing submissions 
fulfill the requirements set forth in the bylaws.

We currently have the Whois Data Reminder Policy, ICANN Whois data 
problem reporting tool. Is there anything else that we are aware of?

Yes - if we can come to closure on the points I raise above and get 
further feedback regarding the data verification mechanisms above. The 
suggeste contractual changes will be relatively straightforward.
