Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
ICANN told us to roll back the .COM/.NET zones to September 15 and stop making changes; so we deleted all domain names registered after September 15 and undid all changes.Given that ICANN is using the clauses in their contract with VeriSlime to demand the removal of the wildcards, I suspect that any such move by VeriSlime would trigger Bad Legal Things for VeriSlime.
VeriSlime might do lots of bad things.... But, I doubt it would take all that long for armed federal knuckledraggers with a federal court order to show up at their door, if push comes to shove.... ICANN/DOC may well have been to see His Honor already in an ex-parte hearing. (We would not even need Tom Ridge; just tell Ashcroft there are pictures of nekked wimmen involved and he'll lead the charge.) -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz () nrk com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
