I'm running out the door to catch a flight, so I can only pass on a very 
quick comment after a cursory review. Overall, I think the proposed TOR 
is extremely close to where it needs to be...

Some, or perhaps all, of this task was completed by the transfers task 
force. The recommendations of the TF included statements of definition 
of the contacts, although I can't remember whether these included a 
definition of purpose. This should be clarified prior to requesting more 
work in this area...
