I’m a bit slow on the uptake, but then, I don’t spend much time on the ‘net nowadays, on the weekends. Here you’ll find a letter from ICANN’s [1] Paul Twomey to VeriSign’s Russell Lewis, dated 3 October. This one’s quite a bit harsher than anything else I’ve seen officially voiced. Excellent:
[P]lease consider this a formal demand to return the operation of the .com and .net domains to their state before the 15 September changes, pending further technical, operational and legal evaluation. A failure to comply with this demand will require ICANN to take the steps necessary under those agreements to compel compliance with them.
Thanks to Liz for the link.
