The original plan from the IAHC was a 60 day waiting period.  Registrants 
could opt out of the 60 day wait but would be disadvantaged in case of a 
dispute.

David Maher said the proposal caused such a problem that he even received 
death threats.

I personally think the wait is proper.

No death threats, please;-}
