consumers, risks associated with alternatives that do not offer the same protections, and how title insurance differs from other types of insurance.</span></li><li class="x_MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Potential discussion of current rulemaking items</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> (acknowledging some may be resolved before we meet):</span></li><ul type="circle" style="margin-top:0in">
