I am glad to see that ICANN has taken action against Verisign’s blatant disregard and lack of respect for the Internet community in relation to the Sitefinder introduction. It is refreshing to see ICANN move quickly and take a stand that is right, has some backbone, and is against Verisign. It helps belie my worry that ICANN, Verisign and the Department of Commerce are in bed with each other on all of the issues at the expense of everyone else. My only concern is that ICANN will throw Verisign the WLS “bone” in exchange for ceasing Sitefinder. ICANN needs to keep in mind that WLS, just as Sitefinder, places services at the Registry level where Verisign has monopoly control, removing competition at the registrar level and reducing consumer choice to the huge financial benefit of Verisign.
I hope ICANN is successful with this. If not it will become an ineffective and worthless body. Good luck, ICANN.

Hi Steve:
CAS Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Dotster, Mydomain.com, Namesdirect.com, and NameZero, correct? Also, is their a website for CAS Holdings? I've always found it difficult to find information on this company, press releases, or company contract information.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug, the core of our business is not Internet related, rather it is environmental. Yes, we are the parent of Dotster, et al. There really is not website for CAS-Holdings. Our laboratory website is www.caslab.com. Corporate headquarters are in Kelso, WA. Hope this is helpful.
Steve
