> Second, Items 2, 4 and 13, plainly are within the scope of Task Force 3.  Item 10 might be, but I confess I am not sufficiently familiar with it and look forward to the briefing later this week.  I included it because it is referenced in one of the constituency statements (not the IPC's, incidentally).

re: item #2 - The task force is to consider the issue of data 
accuracy, not the issue of how ICANN gathers data for interal 
consumption.

re: item #3 & #4 - the manner in which policy is implemented is an 
operational issue outside of the scope of the GNSO. The 
characteristics of specific implementation issues are a matter for 
contracting policies to determine based on the policy adopted through 
 the consensus policy process.

re: item #4 - there were no presentations made in Rome that manual 
review and verification of data submitted to gTLD registrars could be 
 performed in a cost effective manner.

Re: item #10 - specific protocol recommendations are beyond the 
capacity of this task force and are also matters for ICANN and its 
contracted parties to determine how to best implement.

does not make any sense.

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. My specific request is to set aside the 
entire document until it is properly cited and the scope and accuracy 
issues are dealt with.

Policy recommendations are in scope for the GNSO, but implementation 
specifications are not. The difference is slight but important. The 
registrar constituency submission was drafted to accomodate this, but 
if the implications are unclear, I would be please to address specific 
questions and comments from the membership of the task force.
