Subject: [ga] Last minute changes to Verisign agreements


Most people here should have seen the announcement that despite explicit
statements that no changes were possible to the Verisign agreements ("it was
A
or B - there is no C") ICANN management and Verisign have negiotated some
changes which they have just announced.  The Board now has a full 24 hours
to
analyse these new agreements and vote on them with no input from the DNSO.

I beleive Verisign should agree to a 30 or 60 day extension to the 18 May
deadline to allow consideration of these new changes.  Yes Verisign said
they
would not agree to an extension previously but they also said that no
further
changes would be considered.

I am extremely nervous about the possibility of ICANN Board having to vote
on
such huge and critical issues with less than 24 hours to analyse the
changes.

Subject: [icann-announce] Proposed Revisions to ICANN-VeriSign Agreements

On 1 March 2001, ICANN posted a proposal to revise the agreements
between ICANN and VeriSign.  The announcement appears at
<http://www.icann.org/melbourne/proposed-verisign-agreements-topic.htm>.
ICANN has posted a web page, with links to relevant source documents and
a series of FAQs about the proposal at
<http://www.icann.org/melbourne/info-verisign-revisions.htm>.

Among the items just posted is correspondence from yesterday and today
between Stuart Lynn (ICANN's CEO) and Stratton Sclavos (VeriSign's CEO)
regarding additional text changes to the proposed agreements and related
undertakings between ICANN and VeriSign.  The URLs for this
correspondence are:
