Hi The idea of providing a ' reverse cooling off period' has merit where the registrar needs to legitimize their intentions. If you volunteer in Ontario with coaching or schools a volunteer must purchase a police check prior to starting a volunteer placement which gives the parents, educators some level of pre-checking on the character of the individual.

I'm simply saying that if you are worried about preventing criminals from
registering tons of domains as the article describes, then the policy discussion will have to be broader than what Danny's prescription allows.
Personally, I think that the registrar should send a verification code to the paper mailing address provided by the registrant, and not activate the domain until the registrant receives the code and shows (probably by web or email response) that he or she has received it.
I realize this would make the registration process considerably slower and somewhat more expensive, but I see no public interest reason why that's a bad thing.
R's, John
