Verisign Backers are mounting up

[JMJ]

There are too many focused on the the minor issue of the Verisign/ICANN settlement. Verisign appears to be on a campaign to use this to get this deal signed and alot of posts being made in favor of it with similar wordings today. Whether you are for or against please let your voice be heard at [email protected] .

Weigh your thoughts on all of these issues and more that you may have.

WildcardDNS/SiteFinder
WLS/CLS/Expired domain monopoly
Perpetual presumptive renewal clause
$200M R&D commitment disappears
Traffic data sales
ICANN fee doubles
7% a year increase

Yep, same thing happened in the WLS debate:

http://forum.icann.org/wls/

where there were a lot of shills posting, and we managed to trace a lot of them to the state of Oregon (where SnapNames is located, lol).

The individual messages on that page seem to have been deleted! However, I had made a mirror at:

http://www.antiwls.com/icannwlsforum/forum.icann.org/wls/index.html

e.g. one can see a couple of Mike Mann's post at:

Or others caught at:

or my own analysis at:

Those were funny days.

What side are we supposed to be siding with? Where do I find an article to explain this whole situation?

Take whatever side you wish but I would suggest if you value your domain business in any form or fashion take the oppositions side.

A good article to read would be http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/051129/icann_verisign_lawsuits.html?.v=3
