Re: [ga] Re: VeriSign & Korean IDN.com issues

Stephane and all,

  I have to in part agree with Stephane here.  This is really not
an ICANN problem but a Verisign problem.  However as
Verisign is a ICANN via RAA contract, seems reasonable
that if the registrant of this domain name is not getting reasonable
service and Verisign is at least part of the problem, than ICANN
should intervene at this point even if it isn't  a RAA specified
contractual issue.

  I agree fully IE 7 is a mess and should be avoided as a default.
