ICANN can seek specific performance of the agreement by Verisign, or

Quiet honestly I'd like to see all of the GTLD servers given to neutral
companies, ones that ARE not registrars.  Verisign is already engaging in a
lot of unfair business practices because they hold the GTLD servers for
net/com.  The wildcard SNAFU is just one of their tactics to patch the
financial hole since people have been switching registrars in droves.
