Re: ICANN is officially pissed off

"ICANN, ICANN, you're our man! If you can't do it, no one can!"

Okay, I'm done cheering. Meanwhile Verisign is *still* collecting data
for mistyped/unused URLs. Who wants to start the pool? Does Verisign
back off, and if so, when? Or do they get sued and, if they lose, do
they have to turn over all of the data that they collected while they
were offending/breaching/whatever?

Go ICANN!

Oh, and in case anyone is thinking of registering goicann.org, it is
(a) not taken and (b) not a .com or .net and doesn't redirect you to
sitefinder.
