Re: Verisign vs. ICANN

Still a bit of a stretch. They receive money for registered domains (and attempted to for unregistered domains) in the .COM and .NET namespaces.

my employer was a bidder for .ORG, and gives away EPP software ("ISC OpenReg"), so there's some overlap with the registry/registrar community that verisign might be thinking of. -- Paul Vixie
