Re: [bc-gnso] Nom Com December Conference Call Report Card
by Marilyn Cade Dec. 14, 2012

Dec. 14, 2012

Thanks, Ron. Let me open a discussion about characteristics of candidates - not asking for names. Think widely about statesmanlike qualities, not just business folks. We need to step the Board toward a different level... And it starts with candidates for the NomCom to select from.

FW: Breaking: Verisign To Hold Conference Call & Live Webcast Friday Morning At 8:30 AM On Status of .Com Contract
by Phil Corwin Nov. 29, 2012

Nov. 29, 2012

FYI http://www.thedomains.com/2012/11/29/breaking-verisign-to-hold-conference-l… Breaking: Verisign To Hold Conference Call & Live Webcast Friday Morning At 8:30 AM On Status of .Com Contract 2012 November 29 by Michael Berkens Verisign ( NASDAQ : VRSN )just announced they will be holding a conference call and Live Webcast tomorrow morning, Friday November 30, 2012 at 8:30 AM EST: "to provide a status update on the .com Registry Agreement renewal". "The call will be accessible by direct dial at (888) 676-VRSN (U.S.) or (913) 312-0400 (international)." A listen-only live webcast of the conference call will also be available at http://investor.verisign.com<http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=960074&id=2335801&type=1&url=http%3a%2f%…>. November 30th is the date previously set by Verisign as the deadline for a determination on the .Com contract without requiring an extension from the DOC. Shares of Verisign traded down almost 2% today to close at $39.31 and where trading down another 1% after hours but shares appear to have stopped trading. We of course will be watching the webcast to see if they got the .com contract renewed and if so at what rate and with what guaranteed increase, if any. As we reported<http://www.thedomains.com/2012/11/26/ica-tells-dept-of-commerce-to-make-ver…>, the Internet Commerce Association (ICA) wrote a lengthily letter to the to the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), urging the DOC & the DOJ not to approve the renewal of the Verisign contract to operate the .com registry unless Verisign rolls back wholesale prices of .com domain names to the same price it charges for .net domain registrations and to limit price increases in the future to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
