This reminds me of the Iraqi Information minister and his lunatic counterfactual arguments.... All indications indeed!

One would think it would be equally premature to roll out the service
without first asking the appropriate people for their opinion first,
starting with ICANN.

Looks like the lawsuits are going to be the ones to settle this

from Verisign due to breach of contract?  I think it's highly unlikely.
