Verisign sold off NetSol to Pivotal Private Equity last year for 100 million, which takes them out of the registrar space and leaves them as the registry.
it'll be several quarters, and one audited annual report, before we'll know how much control (in terms of supervoting, buyback rights, and so on) verisign still has over netsol. the fact that they aren't the owners of record of that segment of their business is not particularly relevant. now that there's a lawsuit filed, icann could subpoena the details and discover verisign's continuing rights in the matter of netsol's futures. -- Paul Vixie
