VeriSign Withdraws Domain-Suspension Proposal

Posted by timothy on from the it-was-just-a-trial-balloon dept.

GeorgeK writes "To update Wednesday's Slashdot article, VeriSign, the .com/net domain name registry, has withdrawn their controversial proposal which would have allowed them to suspend domains without a court order and without due process. VeriSign did not give a reason for the withdrawal. Slashdot 1, VeriSign 0."

    It was my +insightful moderation on a particularly good point that did the trick. Verisign, for your next attempt please note that I accept Paypal and Google Checkout.
