To look at this as an opportunity: This is the time that an organization of 
Domain Name registrants can become a VRSN shareholders' pressure group on 
the cheap at $4.55 a share.
If they manage to turn VRSN 's image around by forcing its Board to 
implement more "trust"worthy business tactics  they will get their 
financial reward as well.

As the avenues into ICANN are being closed off, angry shareholder input at 
the annual meetings of the 'dot com people" may actually have more chance 
to influence Domain Policy towards a more customer/nameholder-friendly way.
