Subject: [ga] Verisign (VRSN) hits new 52-week low

Hello,

No, not a new low in marketing, or abuse of their monopoly -- this
time, it's their shareholders that get to reassess the "The Value of
Trust". That value is 7.5% less than what it was yesterday, and a lot
less than in 2000. To see the carnage, visit:

Perhaps the registry contract should have been awarded to AT&T, in
hindsight, a decade ago. They're still a $44 Billion Market Cap
company,

and have the financial cushion to run such a system without having to
resort to abusing their monopoly, with WLS and other so-called
'innovations' to milk every penny from customers.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos

To look at this as an opportunity: This is the time that an organization of 
Domain Name registrants can become a VRSN shareholders' pressure group on 
the cheap at $4.55 a share.
If they manage to turn VRSN 's image around by forcing its Board to 
implement more "trust"worthy business tactics  they will get their 
financial reward as well.

As the avenues into ICANN are being closed off, angry shareholder input at 
the annual meetings of the 'dot com people" may actually have more chance 
to influence Domain Policy towards a more customer/nameholder-friendly way.
