[wildcard-comments] Versign's Abuse

[Greg Wittel <wittel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to voice my support of the actions taken by ICANN against 
Verisign.  While dubbed as a "service," Verisign's SiteFinder runs counter 
to the ideals upon which the Internet is based.  Their continued insistence 
on the utility of SiteFinder demonstrates their unwillingness (or 
incapability) to acknowledge the many ill effects caused by SiteFinder.

While workarounds were developed (i.e. the bind fix), they are akin to 
trying to repair a broken bone with a band-aid.  Routing fixes leave users 
at the mercy of their ISP's willingness to implement such measures.  Should 
Verisign attempt to re-start their "service," I hope that ICANN will take 
every action to mitigate the problem (including the gradual move away from 
reliance upon Verisgn).

Sincerenly,
-Greg Wittel
