ICANN Study Slams Verisign

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-surprising dept.

Dinglenuts writes "ICANN has just released what I'm sure is a completely neutral and unbiased report, condemning Verisign's Sitefinder service for running afoul of 'community standards and caus[ing] harm to individual users and enterprises.' Seeing as how ICANN is currently being sued by Verisign for making them take down Sitefinder, this opinion can be considered less than revolutionary."

    But ICANN is not much better. They have no accountability, refuse to reform, their meetings are basically junkets to somewhere expensive, and they try to gouge registrars for $15.8m for next year, double the previous years. Lets also not forget the fiasco that was the ICANN At Large, where the directors users voted in where quickly thrown out when they tried to represent user viewpoints.

    Oh, and the too great an influence the US government has on ICANN.
