Re: Thread 2: 60-day issue

[Steve Peterson <stevep@ry.com>]

I think you have to give the trademark owner a little time to review the
application before the domain is turned on.  It's one thing to keep a
domain from being turned on;  another to have an existing, active domain
turned off.  It should be harder to convince a court to do the latter.  In
order to level the playing field there needs to be a short period at the
beginning where you're not disrupting existing activity if you shut off a
domain.
