Hello,
Sorry
for the delay on this.....I wasn't in Friday or Monday.....
1.
Verisign has announced that what was supposed to happen mid-January will now
likely happen towards the end of Q1 (that's all I got). This is because, in
their opinion, the IETF is close to the standard that they've been working on,
and it doesn't make sense to duplicate work (assuming Verisign had originally
planned something that might differ from the standard) in so short a time frame.
As to
the tool...again, we *want* one, it doesn't mean we'll get it. We could probably
build one in the time we have, but my feeling today is that we're just as well
off to get the lists of converted names from Verisign and give them to resellers
(and to give resellers the link to Verisign's own conversion tool, which is
public).
I'll be announcing this in an LRU within the week..... Thanks,
Ken
