Hi Joanna

In Melbourne, Joe Sims advised that Verisign was working on the divestiture
according to Plan A when they (Verisign) presented another option to ICANN
stafff for consideration.  ICANN staff rejected that particular proposal but
this opened the door to discussions.

Negotiators from both sides then jointly hammered out another, more suitable
alternative.  The final result apparently contained very little of the original
proposal.

I understand that Chuck Gomes (with Verisign Registry) was not part of this
process.
However this information is on the public record.

Regards
Patrick
