1. The registration fee is completely uncontriversial. The IAHC has
   repeatedly said that the fee will be based on actual costs spread
   over the inital registrars. What possible controversy could exist?

2. Several extremely good proposals have been advanced. Anyone who feels
   that some sort of change will not be forthcoming hasn't been
   listening to the comments.

3. The 60-day waiting period is probably dead unless the INTA has more
   clout than I can see. There appears to be precedent for a 60-day or
   less publication period, similar to DBA laws in many states.

4. The shared model is the only way to go. The only people who doubt
   this are greedy, short-sighted money grabbers like Palmer.

Please let me know that you disagree with any of the above. If you
don't, then where is the controversy?
