Re: Who really benefits from 60-day period?

So, under the new gTLD system the registries will be spread around the
world. It is unclear to me as to where the servers will be, but spread
about as well, we presume.
The whole 60 day non-use period justification seems to be predicated upon
some (dodgy and untested) assumptions about US law.
What about the rest of the world? We own this stuff as much as the US. You
want to impose a 60 day non-use time on the whole world, when in most of
that world it will be a total irrelevance.
I really think you have to think a bit more about the world and dump the 60
day period.
