Comment :  The 24-month implementation period is a big problem. My understanding is that these guidelines
were written to be implemented by 2006, with more stringent guidelines to be developed for
the near future. The guidelines are weak because many compromises were made so they could be
implemented rapidly. The 24-month implementation time means that we will have no protection,
other than the very inadequate FEC 2002 guidelines, until 2008; then these weak guidelines, which
were only intended to be a “quick fix,” will finally be implemented. We can do better.
