VeriSign Files Lawsuit Against ICANN
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - February 26, 2004 - VeriSign, Inc. the leading provider of
critical infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications
networks, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the
Central District of California against the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The suit alleges that ICANN overstepped its contractual authority and
improperly attempted to regulate VeriSign's business in violation of its
charter and its agreements with VeriSign. By straying from its charter and
agreement to be a technical coordination body, VeriSign asserts that ICANN has
improperly attempted to become the de facto regulator of the domain name system
and in doing so stifled the introduction of new services that benefit Internet
users and promote the growth of the Internet.
