Re: No new TLDs for a while -- and SiteFinder
by Tom
Susan - SiteFinder broke many things, not least of all trust/policy. After running an ISP since 1994 and being exposed to VeriSign's (then Netsol) tactics, I am keenly aware of just how evil they are and how impotent ICANN has been. I know large decisions take time but they [ICANN] would have been fired as a group from any company looking to effect positive change, long ago. Too many people make excuses for ICANN and all the while the general public gets the shaft. I'd be happy to point you to examples of how what Verisign did break things when SiteFinder was implemented - WITHOUT permission/discussion. I note that ICANN did step up to the plate and pressure Verisign to turn off SiteFinder, for now. It's as if Verisign views the internet as its own little sandbox and should be able to do what it wants. They charge way too much for the "service" they provide and are accountable to no one, least of all ICANN or the rest of the world affected by their whims. I do still want to have another dinner at Alejo's if time permits in the future, along with Mr. Fausett.:)
