hi all,

here’s a first-try at the revision:

3.4 The 60-day transfer lock will be required if an Account Holder updates 
their email address, thus effectively causing a Change of Registrant and 
simultaneously rendering impossible the exchange of the Change of Registrant 
Credential as described in section 3.2.   If the Account Holder wishes to opt 
out of the lock, they can validate the change of address through other 
verifiable means.
