That pretty much sums up the state of affairs and our view of these actions
by both Verisign and Register.com. Elliot wanted me to point out
specifically that this is one of the biggest things we are focusing on at
the ICANN meetings in Stockholm this week. Several meetings have taken
place, and we are hopeful that some positive developments will come out of
it by the end of the meetings. I will be sure to pass on anything of
substance that I hear.
