Verisign is trying to move this argument into a question of what best serves the end-user.<<
This doesn't matter, their point should be moot. Verisign is charged with managing the .com and .net domains for the public. They DO NOT OWN those domains so they are not allowed to use them for their own greedy purposes. An example, some outfit gets charged with managing a government housing development, so they decide to use the parking lot to hold their own private flee market. It's not their property and they have no right to do this. Same goes for whoever gets to manage .net and .com. It's not about what's best for anyone, it's about improper use of public property for personal gain. Geo.
