My view would concur with this, these are really old battles starting back in the netsol days and now the verisign has taken the same short sighted path. It is time that neutral party is in charge -Henry R Linneweh Paul Vixie <vixie@vix.com> wrote:
ICANN can seek specific performance of the agreement by Verisign, or seek to terminate Verisign's contract as the .COM/.NET registry operator and transfer the operation to a successor registry.
Quiet honestly I'd like to see all of the GTLD servers given to neutral companies, ones that ARE not registrars. [...]
frankly i am mystified as to why icann awards registry contracts to for-profit entities. registrars can be for-profit, but registries should be non-profit or public-trust or whatever that specific nation's laws allow for in terms of requirements for open accounting, uniform dealing, and nonconflict with the public's interest. -- Paul Vixie
