ICANN - Formal Complaint re Verisign

Thu Sep 18 16:15:59 UTC 2003

As someone who has dealt extensively with GeoTrust, I can assure you, they
are not owned by Verisign.  They're a totally separate company that has the
old equifax root cert.

Thanks,
Matt

If GeoTrust is Verisign, why do they make a big deal out of competing with
Verisign?
