So now you care about giving notice the community? That didn't seem high on your priority list when you implemented it.

The "community" I suspect that they are sensitive about is not NANOG etc. but the advertisers and the shareholders. Remember, Verisign is the effective monopigly (sic) issuer of certificates and the monopoly controller of the largest TLD. Their long term financial and political power is dependent on these - legitimate or corrupt applications aside. Having any external body (even a semi-legitimate one like ICANN) interfere will result in some real fallout for the power mongers... Peter
