This is a shocking abuse of the infrastructure of DNS



This is a shocking abuse of the infrastructure of DNS, breaking current functionality for the sake of commercial gain.

 

Verisign has betrayed the public trust established in it by many bodies include ICANN. ICANN and other bodies such as the IETF should act to remove from Verisign the responsibilities that allowed it to carry out this abuse of trust. Even if Verisign agrees to reverse this implementation, the damage is already done to the public trust and the question of whether Verisign should be allowed to retain Monopoly control of this matter should be addressed.
