Owen,
I know it's short notice, but, can we try and get someone from ICANN to explain at Chicago why they haven't pulled Verisign's contracts for malfeasance? Further, can we get someone from Verisign to explain how Verisign plans to correct these actions and stop taking unilateral destructive actions with the public trust?
This has real operational impact, and, it certainly needs more coordination that Verisign has so far been willing to apply.
I'm happy to see Verisign's actions on the Chicago NANOG agenda... http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0310/dns.html But (alas) I don't see any ICANN names on the list... http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0310/attendee.list.html Keep in mind that NANOG is a "North America..." entity and what your addressing here is a global issue. :-) Martin
