Is 60 a magic number?



	My two cents on the (mostly) fine draft (nice work!) and the
hundreds of emails thereon.

	I like the general idea of the 60-day period.   The question
that I would ask (especially of any legal-eagles involved in this
process): is there something magical about the 60 day duration in
terms of a "comment period", or would a shorter interval server the
same purpose?    If 30 days could be sufficient public notice of
potential infriengement, it might make the policy less onerous.

	On a similar note, is the objective of providing a "you didn't
complain during the comment period defense" equally served by allowing
instant activation with the publication of a "new domains list", or is
the waiting period a benefit here.   If the waiting period only
protects the new registrant from the hassle of unexpected challenges,
then perhaps we should drop it (or dramatically shorten it).  If the
legal protections available on day 61 are stronger if the activation
was held until day 60, then we should keep it, in my opinion.
