The current first item on google's news spew is entitled: VeriSign Likely To Earn ICANN Approval for Wait-Listing Domains [technewsworld.com] It goes on to provide not much evidence for such a statement, but still... Given ICANN's erratic behaviour, including numerous examples of toadying to VeriSign (EG: the .net divestiture), and given their open and transparent secret backroom dealings (EG: the .net divestiture), one can be forgiven for accepting this as prophecy. I already explained [icannwatch.org] why this is not a Very Good Thing in terms of Security and Stability but, Hey!, if you can make a few dineros before Osama's henchmen crash the net, more power to ya. That's the American way. -g

What would be really interesting would be to find out who is paying Free2Innovate.net to spew out its Astroturf "grass-roots" blogging? (Is there a term for that type of corporate marketing/lobbying yet?)
It seems likely that VeriSign dollars are behind this, but investigation/confirmation would be interesting. Also, would you guess that Free2Innovate is a subcontractor to the "Center for Regulatory Effectiveness", or vice-versa?
