VeriSign Responds To ICANN's SiteFinder Advisory

Posted by simoniker on from the a-proper-mexican-standoff dept.

dmehus writes "VeriSign's Naming and Directory Services division has written to ICANN President and CEO Paul Twomey regarding the recent advisory concerning VeriSign's DNS wildcard redirection service. In the letter, VeriSign's Rusty Lewis says that they are open to independent and objective technical concerns expressed by various Internet bodies; they have formed their own "independent" panel of industry leading experts to produce its own, separate report; and they will not voluntarily suspend SiteFinder. It's a very terse response, and frankly, I'd have expected more from them. Slashdot readers are encouraged to visit ICANNWatch for in-depth, expert discussion on this and other issues."

    He tears them a new one. Jesus Christ on a bicycle, these geeks need to find something else to do other than writing code.

    Dear sir,

    Your softly worded post has struck me in a profound way. Clearly, your carefully articulated point, coupled with the gentle reminder that they are simply another business out to survive, leaves me with only one response for you.

    Fuck off and die, you miserable sack of troll-bait.

    Thank you, and have a wonderfully productive evening.

    The biggest concern? Puhleeze. If some guy in Russia goes to check his e-mail and mistypes the domain, he's not going to say, "Whoops! I guess mail.ru decided to go English. Ah well, might as well brush up on the ol' grammar!" Of course not! He's going to re-type "mail.ru" and get to where he originally intended to go.

    "A 404 in any other language still implies bad typping skils."
