No it is not acceptable. On hold means that the domain is no longer viewable, like what happens now with the 30 day redemption period at Tucows. For a running business that is unacceptable.
With the 14 days no time is alloted for Europeans having longer holidays then Americans, or snailmail from Africa taking longer or even snailmail from EU to US taking more then that time. It was the reason for a objection in the report. Thankfully however this is also the worry of the registrars, albeit perhaps for less noble reasons, and thus it is likely that the implementation committee will advise a (hopefulle 3 times) longer period.
