[comments-whois] Asleep at the wheel

In the section entitled "Marketing use of WHOIS data; bulk access 
provisions", the statement is made:   "Based on these results, the Task Force 
recommends a review of the current bulk access provisions of the Registrar 
Accreditation Agreement."  

Whereas the ICANN Board already referred this matter directly to the Names 
Council on 22 January  
(http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc09/msg00061.html )
and whereas the Council already voted to delegate this matter to the WHOIS TF 
on 14 February
(http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc09/msg00185.html ), what exactly 
is the point of stating that the TF recommends a review?

This work has already been assigned to you half a year ago.   This is part of 
your job.  Go ahead and get it done, and please don't let it take forever... 
you might even try abiding by the guidance offered by the ERC and actually 
completing policy development activities within the recommended 30 - 45 
days... wouldn't that be a refreshing change of pace?
