Prices that are in versions of the index prior to 2005 contain prices that were contributed by members, but these are not verifiable. The Executive Board was concerned about the reliability of this information. Therefore, prior to issuance of the 2005 index, the board decided to include only prices that were provided by the publishers themselves.
