Re: [ga] VeriSign takes over .name registry??

Karl and all,

  I fully agree with your sentaments and am glad that there are
folks that recognize and stand up for honesty and good ethics.

  However this said, it is unlikely that ICANN will or even can
at this juncture do the right thing regarding .BIZ, and not putting
.NAME up for an open and non-bias re-delegation will haunt
ICANN for years if it is true that Verisign is taking over .NAME.
This is of course not to say that Verisign will be a bad stuart of
.NAME, but it seems that ICANN should seek other alternitives
first.
