Registrar Defends ICANN

Now I know where my domain name registration money goes to: GoDaddy offers ICANN $100K for defense against Verisign over WLS.

Verisign was apparently not happy about the fact that ICANN told VeriSign to Shut Down Site Finder.

Interestingly, Go Daddy is currently suing ICANN and VeriSign and they've also set up a site to Recall Verisign.

BTW: Sitefinder is a nasty little domain hijacker where the simple act of mistyping a URL implicitly cause you, the end user, to accept VeriSign's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy without the chance to review and accept or decline.
