Declan,

As Politech readers might be aware, on Wednesday, March 03, 2004, a press
release issued by Go Daddy Software, Inc., defended ICANN's right to
regulate VeriSign's registry services and called for a formal review of the
company's position as an "exclusive registry." This announcement from Go
Daddy, which came one week after VeriSign filed a lawsuit against ICANN,
pledged $100,000 to ICANN for its defense of the VeriSign lawsuit. Go Daddy,
which ranks among the top 3 largest domain name registrars in the world and
one of VeriSign's largest customers, has also sent a letter to both the U.S.
Department of Commerce (DOC) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) strongly urging both groups to undertake a formal review
of VeriSign's registry position.

In this special interview, CircleID has caught up with Bob Parsons,
President and Founder of Go Daddy, where he provides in-depth discussions of
Internet Innovation, ICANN, VeriSign's Global Registry Services, Top-Level
Domains and the current legal battles.

Here is the link to the Interview...
