Subject: ICANN demands that VeriSign suspend Site Finder, restore DNS
To: dave@xxxxxxxxxx
Dave,
ICANN's Paul Twomey has demanded in a formal letter that VeriSign suspend
their DNS changes and "Site Finder" by tomorrow evening.
Now we wait for the other shoe to drop.
Sitting here in L.A., I can tell you that this has become a
significant diversion from the circus and stupidity of the
upcoming recall election!
While we both have been outspoken critics of many ICANN policies,
and while the history of events involving ICANN and VeriSign that
led us to this point will certainly bear investigation, I think
we can agree that this action by ICANN is quite welcome news.
Stay tuned.
