Let private sector run the Net

Reform ICANN?: Absolutely! ICANN needs to be reformed into something with enough teeth to rip the throat out of a jackal like Verisign became when they forced SiteFinder on us.
The egrigiousness of Verisign's actions in this matter are consistently understated by the media, even the tech media, who should know better. I have heard not one single opinion, from anyone with any working knowldege of the DNS infrastructure, that thinks Sitefinder was a good idea. Verisign's spewing of their "poll results" is disingenuous, to say the least. Clueless web surfers don't keep the Internet running so their opinions on what DOES keep it running (or what breaks it) do NOT count.

Verisign needs to have their irresponsible asses kicked severely for this attempt to hi-jack the DNS system.
