Looks like the lawsuits are going to be the ones to settle this dispute...anyone think there's a chance of ICANN pulling .COM and .NET from Verisign due to breach of contract? I think it's highly unlikely.

Oh, I dunno... ICANN has no teeth, so that won't happen.

Shouldn't one of them smarty-pants attorneys file for an immediate injunction against VeriSign? Looks like plenty of technical arguments have been posted here which even the most dim-witted judge would understand vs. the public position taken by VeriSign that they should keep their cash register jingling with Sitefinder proceeds while the topic is studied and/or fought over for another 24 months. It's obvious to me that the technical arguments fade out quickly if the service is kept up and running. VeriSign cashes in while everyone else incurs the expense of implementing workarounds and bug-fixes. Once the workarounds are in place for more than a couple weeks, there isn't much impetus to put everything back the way it was. Has an injunction been requested? -rich
