In any event, the problem is not that the semantics of the word are wrong in this case, but that using the word just serves to inflame. I was particularly heartened that yesterday's meeting was conducted in a thoroughly professional tone, with folks offering clear and practical expressions of their views.
Since I was not at the meeting, just read the press accounts, I am interested in this. I got the distinct impression that, although "professional", Verisign was making an effort to keep things on a purely technical track. And then afterwards claimed that "nothing broke" since Joe User could get to www.[webpage].com.
This is not the attitude of someone trying to work through the process to a mutual resolution. It is the attitude of someone who is trying to work the process so they can claim some type of validity to their (pre-determined) decision.
As someone who was there, would you care to comment on my impression? Happy to be wrong, I certainly would love it if Verisign is actually doing "the right thing".
