> ICANN's Paul Twomey has demanded in a formal letter that VeriSign suspend
> their DNS changes and "Site Finder" by tomorrow evening.
> Now we wait for the other shoe to drop.
>
> Sitting here in L.A., I can tell you that this has become a
> significant diversion from the circus and stupidity of the
> upcoming recall election!
>
> While we both have been outspoken critics of many ICANN policies,
> and while the history of events involving ICANN and VeriSign that
> led us to this point will certainly bear investigation, I think
> we can agree that this action by ICANN is quite welcome news.
>
> Stay tuned.
