	The IAHC proposal is pretty explicit about NOT getting into the job
of adjudication, as NSI's original complaint policy did.

	Uses of terms like "immunity" suggest that the registrar (not
registry) somehow have legal powers.  They don't.  They are subject to
legal directives, of course, but that is different from the registar,
itself, processing the complaint.

	Where do you see language in the proposal that, in any way, forces
the registrars "to enter into the merits of the disputes"?
