I just learned of the under-the-table "you-pat-my-hand and I'll pat yours" deal that's in process between ICANN & Verisign. Quite intriguing. Both parties benefit and the .com users get stuck with the bill. Looks like a little hanky-panky is going on between bed buddies. Verisign donates money that it extorts from .com users, with ICANN's approval, to ICANN. Sure has the ring of illegality to me. We'll be seeing you in court folks. Count on that. CC
