Hi Joe...

The 60 day period establishes a role for CORE (and IAHC) to serve in
protecting the interests of third party users. The underlying assumption is
that there is a critical need for some intervention by CORE (IAHC)  to
reduce trademark problems.
The function of CORE should be to facilitate registration of domain names.
Why get involved in the problem solving? Leave it to the courts to
adjudicate conflicts. Registry responsibility could be as simple as
assigning registrations on a FCFS basis, with compulsory removal available
only upon an order from a court of proper jurisdiction.
