  By "waiting for data", do you mean the TLDs that IAHC is goint to 
start with?

  It would appear to me that from many of the comments made already that
most of both the strengths and weaknesses are pretty well covered.  As
to
a more "Reasonable" discription of those, I would tend to agree that
it should be stated more clearly, and still reflect the range of
emphisis that was discussed for each.  

  I am also curious, as I am sure others are, as to where there was
considered "Consensus" and where "Consensus" was not reached.  It would
be helpful to all if the IAHC stated their take on that clearly as well.
