Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
ICANN told us to roll back the .COM/.NET zones to September 15 and stop making changes; so we deleted all domain names registered after September 15 and undid all changes.
Given that ICANN is using the clauses in their contract with VeriSlime to demand the removal of the wildcards, I suspect that any such move by VeriSlime would trigger Bad Legal Things for VeriSlime.
VeriSlime might do lots of bad things.... But, I doubt it would take all that long for armed federal knuckledraggers with a federal court order to show up at their door, if push comes to shove.... ICANN/DOC may well have been to see His Honor already in an ex-parte hearing. (We would not even need Tom Ridge; just tell Ashcroft there are pictures of nekked wimmen involved and he'll lead the charge.) -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
