from NSI flacks as of late[1]:

| We're in the process of digesting [the IAHC plan],"
| said Chris Clough, a spokesman for Network
| Solutions. "Frankly, it's going to take us quite a
| bit of time. Overall, the concern is to ensure the
| stability and integrity of the registration process.
| I think everybody shares that concern."
