Subject: [ga] Verisign buys .TV

I believe they just in effect bought .DM and .CC, with the acquisition
of the company that runs those ccTLDs.

This just seems like good business until you look at the restrictions,
the USG contract and their consumer oriented ehtics or lack thereof.

Sincerely,
Eric

Wrong.  The fact that we entered into a license agreement simply means
that we have rights to use the technology if the WLS is implemented.
That allowed us to more accurately predict our costs in preparing a
proposal but in no way does that mean it is a fait accompli.

It's interesting to see that Verisign can buy and own
TLDs...

This was recently posted to the icann-deletes mailing list as a
counter-proposition to the VRSN/Snapnames WLS proposal.

I haven't reviewed it 100% yet (just got it), but a quick scan does indicate
that it is a serious proposal worthy of consideration by the DNSO. At the
very least, it demonstrates the viability of a model alternative to the
current VRSN proposition.

system would be cheaper, fairer, more transparent, and better for Internet
growth than earlier proposals. Perhaps most important, it would reward the
sector of this industry (registrars) that faces market risks and creates
value.
