What is unclear about a clear statement of will that says "ignore 
everything I am going to say about this for the next 6 months"?

There is no leeway for interpretation or doubt here.

Yes, *allowed*, so the NCC can not deny a resource holder the right 
*if he wants so*.  But if he clearly states "I do not want to excercise
this right for the next 6 months" this is a matter of consenting adults,
and contractual matters.  Amend the SSAC if needed to cover this case
(this I'd actually find somewhat logical).
