A faq (http://www.icann.org/melbourne/info-verisign-revisions.htm) is
not a contract, sure. But why does ICANN deal with the matter
in the context of this contract at such length, if it isn't
relevant? The statements in the faq may have no legal force. But must
we assume that they are meaningless? And if we do not agree with
possible *implications* (explicit or not in a contract), why can't we
protest against them now, before it is too late? The ball is already
rolling...
Protest is the only answer. See my .sig ...
