That's right, and it's got me and a lot of others pretty worried. I
consulted with a lawyer (two, actually) about it, and was told not
to sign it, that it's dangerous and unconstitutional. It needs to be
contested in court, and the sooner the better.

Well, this isn't Egypt, and it isn't the bloody British Empire
either. I don't recognize the authority of the CORE registrars, or
anyone else for that matter, to apply rules and laws to me and my
communications that haven't been voted on by a legislature. They're
not going to get away with it.
