Re: ICANN - Formal Complaint re Verisign

So...what, if anything, has been heard along the lines 
of feedback/defense/repartee/retort/explanation/spin 
doctoring/screams of terror from Verisign under the 
crushing weight of this solid ochlocratic beatdown?

Given the below, was wondering if anyone, conversely, 
has heard any ardent professions on Verisign's part of 
commercial or vendor agnosticism or assurances of this 
being "for our own good?"

(Aside from the "Terms of Use" rhetoric on the sitefinder 
page, that is...)

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity tends to be a 
better defense.  (Not sure where commercial motivation 
falls in that regard...)

I'm willing to suffer that sort of burden to, uh, help make the
Internet a better place.  Where do I sign up?
