  I agree as well with this analogy and recomendation.  Did you read
Bettys posting.  I found it quite reveling along these lines.  I might
add that unless IAHC/CORE has regulatory authority, implying or 
stating a 60 day waiting period as a condition for use of a TLD, is
not maintainable, no has force behind it.  It can omly drag IAHC/CORE
into a legal situation at some point that would be untenable, and creat
an atmosphere of being very "NSI LIKE" in its behavior.  This I think
would be detramental to all involved. especailly the user.
