Hurrah. ICANN in Washington having a go at Verisign...within two or three years Verisign'll have some serious gum marks, and they might get sucked to death in a little under a decade.

Who knows? It's entirely possible that attitudes like this:

ICANN has already called on VeriSign to suspend Site Finder pending a review of the system, but VeriSign rejected that request.

and this:

"We certainly are in favor of the community having a healthy discourse on all of the technologies and innovations on the Internet, Site Finder is one of those. We are looking at how the (Oct. 7) meeting is shaping up and we will make our determination on participation based on that," said VeriSign spokesman Brian O'Shaughnessy.

might get ICANN in the mood for a little bitch-slapping. It seems like the ultimate in arrogant bad judgment for a TLD registrar to thumb their nose at the agency that MADE them a TLD registrar.
