> i. How effectively and to what extent the policies have been implemented
> and adopted by Registrars, Registries and Registrants,

> of the filings that have been resolved through the process.
> 
> (2) Identify the work items for the 6 month review.  In particular
> determine what additional information and analysis is required to assist
> the GNSO in determining whether any refinements are required for the
> policy.  Note this analysis may include a similar process to that used
> in the recent analysis of the practices of registrars with respect to
> requirements of registrars to provide information on the purpose for
> data collection and information on the recipients of the data.  In this
> analysis an ICANN staff member documented the business processes used by
> the top 10 registrars, and a 10 other registrars chosen randomly.
> This analysis could complement the anecdotal evidence provided from
> public comments and queries received by ICANN staff.
