think stability.

I think recent events prove pretty well that Verisign GRS no longer gives a crap about stability. Have we forgotten *.COM so quickly?

oh please. i was an publically critical of *.COM and *.NET, but that's a policy problem, not an operational problem. verisign has a very good record for name server uptime, both at the TLD and root level. if you're going to complain about their wildcard policies, please be specific. (note that verisign has amended their complaint against icann (since the court dismissed the first one) and i'm now named as a co-conspirator. if you reply to this message, there's a good chance of your e-mail appearing in court filings at some point.) -- Paul Vixie
