Phishing take down notices.

How are you reporting a takedown notice for a phishing site. Presently we have no standard for takedown notices. We 
will notify the Domain owner most times, but it seems to take them sometime to do it.
I know there is phishing reporting sites for just about every vender out there. I tried Phishtank and the voting thing 
in my very novice view is clunky at best. Is anyone a member of APWG and a phishing reporter ?
If so any wisdom on how it works. I see there a site in the APWG where you can report phishing but you also need the 
header information,  90 % of the time we don't get when a user reports phishing.
We have been playing with the Netcraft toolbar extension and like the end user ability to report phishing directly, but 
we are just evaluating it.  I am in the belief that most anti phishing venders
use a feed from at least one organization to populate their databases.  Forgive me if this has be addressed but I could 
not find anything in Educause on this subject.

Sincerely

Bryan
