Then this makes no sense at all. If the 60-day wait happens, but everything
else is as it is now, then of what use is the wait? If someone protests
during the 60-day wait, the domain is STILL issued, and the only one
inconvenienced is the registrant! They STILL get to use it after 60 days,
and no court action will happen that fast.

So if there is no procedural change, the 60-day wait is merely an inconvenience
to the registrant. Nothing else.
