Is 30 days long enough for us to start our own Internet, so we can tell Verisign to go stuff theirs? Maybe we can even start our own ICANN while we're at it -- after all, it shouldn't be hard to improve on the original. Verisign, ICANN, New.Net, etc., can go off and play in their little fantasy world, and the rest of us will have an Internet that actually works.
(Oh yes, I almost forgot -- spammers, you're welcome to stay in Verisign's legacy net; they're likely to be more gullible anyway.)

Please tell me how creating a different internet will help anything where SiteFinder is concerned. The problem with it is that it is the TLD itself that controls SiteFinder, so anyone who plans to keep their .com or .net domains relies upon the TLD server.
Sure we can - and do - have several roots that people can switch to. That doesn't have a thing to do with the TLDs other than the fact that they are included in the rootzone.
The entire issue is that this type of control should not be used at the core - or top levels - of the internet. If it were done at root level, the root would answer as authoritative for all TLDs rather than the TLDs answering as authoritative for themselves. The result is erroneous messages being returned to all those doing domain lookups, which in turn negates the purpose of accuracy in the zone files.
I think it's going to be intersting to watch how DNS server operators will react as we go down this road. My servers will reject anything that is not delegated and the TLDS who are configured to use wildcards... well, there domain might just not make it through. Oh well.
