It's back online.

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-21nov05.htm is online
now, too. I wonder who wrote the answers to the new Questions and
Answers --- ICANN or VeriSign? Some hard to believe answers in that
section, like 

"A1.2 In order to provide for a transition to allowing market forces to
determine prices, ICANN and VeriSign agreed to relax the current price
cap" -- is that like the transition to an elected Board? Market forces
would be moving prices lower. Allowing a monopolist to set its own
price is not "market forces".

"A4.2 Extending VeriSign's .COM registry contract to 2012, as proposed
in this agreement, maintains Internet security and stability. " -- I
think they meant "VeriSign net income security and stability" not
"Internet". Although, to VeriSign, they probably think they ARE the
Internet.

Sincerely,
