ICANN, IAB Ask VeriSign to Suspend SiteFinder

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday September 20, 2003 @01:21AM 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."

The url linked to the IAB comments are talking about the Internationalization of the root DNS servers, they are not talking about the "new" implementation of the sitefinder re-direction taking place.

Please note that the dates on those messages are from January 25, 2003.

Nothing new about those at all. Please check the url's submitted before posting inaccurate information.
