	I suspect because the advrtisement contains everything a
	court would need to find a business in the physical world:
	and address.

	In the DNS case, you need to advertize the NS records...

	I like that!  And it doesn't require any particular onerous
tasks for the registrar: he can generate a report, sign it and
mail/post it to a newsgroup.
	That would provide a very good method of making the 60-day
waiting period havea higher ``hit rate''.
	And it would provide a public venue for protesting badly
configured DNSs, a particular complaint of mine (in .ca, you don't
need to be on the 'net to have a .ca or .on.ca registration.  Some
companies are unreachanbel for months after re4gistration, and
badly broken thereafter)

	Actulally it was the other commentator who wanted
the tribunal: neither I nor the IAHC did...
