I think it should be a sliding scale on moving from C->R. If you move up, decide it's not for you, I think it should start with 2 weeks before moving back to R. If you try again, it doubles to 4 weeks. Next time, 8 weeks, etc.
I think the "first" down shift should be a short period so guilds can attempt to move up, try it out, and see if they like it or not with minimal risk. This could also be scaled to how long you're in class C. If you move up, stay there for 6 months, and you're moderately successful then decide to move down, it should probably take a bit longer. Or, since IB and TMO have been class C for 10 months, if either decides it really wants to move down to R, it should obviously have a longer wait period.
Please note this is my own opinion and does not reflect the views or opinions of TMO as a whole.
