Dear William and Sotiris,
I am afraid that personal opinions are of low interest here.  What is of 
interest is that there are laws and that laws must be respected and enforced.

There are laws saying that waht Verisign intends is illegal, there is not a 
law saying this is an obligation.

An organised violation of the law is war. Civilian war, when organized by 
national people having to respect that law. Intenational war when people of 
an external country come and break an national law. The intenartional 
nature of the Internet creates a problem as Verisign is breaking the 
European laws in the USA. Nevertheless it is law breaking and nevertheless 
it means that Verisign openly breaks the European law. This means that 
Verisign seems to want to declare war to Europe, Israel, Argentina etc...

Rumours around are that Verisign allied with MS to develop the DNS software 
and this way control the Internet. Rumours around are that MS has just 
proposed - with some support on the Hill - that Passport would play the 
role of the US national Identity Card?

I feel it is a little too much at the same time. Comments welcome.

BTW, I wander how the ITU/T could address such a kind of concern, would the 
ICANN be a group of Members of the ITU/T, without showing usueless. And I 
think that uselessness would hurt its other missions.

But I accept and support that the ITU/T could be of help if the ICANN, the 
ITU/T and all the other concerned parties would form a Network System 
Concertation Committee. I suppose that the Members of that Committee could 
advise the ICANN on how to address such an internal network management 
issue and cooperate, by example in imposing the necessary constraints on 
Verisign and MS until they resume a less "market monopoly" oriented approach.
