I'm really starting to dislike VeriSign. I've got a couple of domains with them, but I'm starting to feel dirty. The misleading letters they sent out left a bad taste in my mouth, and how they handle domain expirations pushed me even further over the edge. What I fail to understand is why they are pushing this when they already offer their own "waiting list" service? Ewww...
Any suggestions what Registrar I can shift my domains to? Reliability is #1 consideration, cost is #2... _______________________________________________________________ "A government operating in the shadow of secrecy stands in complete opposition to the society envisioned by the framers of our Constitution." - Judge Damon J.

I wanted to let you know that last Friday, ICANN voted yes on adoption of the proposal. They voted yes, even though the ICANN WLS Task Force soundly rejected its adoption. They voted yes, even though the outpouring of angry consumer voices on the ICANN WLS forums and petitions clearly demonstrated that not many were in favor of its adoption. Despite our best efforts to lead a charge against this proposal, it has been accepted, and we must do our best to move forward with it now. Many of you have shown your support of open competition in the secondary market by e-mailing me, signing the anti-WLS petition, and posting comments on the forum. From all of us at Dotster, thank you so much for your support. Dotster is currently going through the appeals process, so we remain optimistic that things will work out in favor of consumers. Whatever ends up happening in the end, I promise that Dotster will try to work within the new system to bring the most benefit to you, our customer. I have put together a comprehensive document outlining the history of the WLS proposal, from its first introduction until last week's vote. The document also includes information on which registrars voted for and against the WLS -- the results may surprise you! I invite you to review this document by visiting http://web.dotster.com/resources/wlsresponse.php. Also, if you have any questions or comments about the decision, please feel free to e-mail them to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Again, thank you for your continued support.
