ICANN, IAB Ask VeriSign to Suspend SiteFinder

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the trying-the-polite-approach-first dept.

dmehus writes "ICANN issued an advisory late today concerning VeriSign's controversial SiteFinder service. The advisory requests that VeriSign voluntarily suspend SiteFinder until various independent and objective reviews, which are now underway, have been completed. Interested parties should see the advisory for more details." I think most people here can agree it was a bad idea, although it's not generating revenue for most of us either. ICANN isn't alone here either. Nuclear Elephant writes "The Internet Architecture Board issued this response to an ICANN inquiry about Verisign's SiteFinder service."

    I wanted to register hymie.com to proclaim the accomplishments of my ethnic group. We invented the polio vaccine, double entry accounting, the international banking system, nuclear weapons, the discovery of the hepatitis virus, the printing press, and countless other advancements.
