Absolutely.  Special thanks are also due to the members of the ISC BIND
Forum for their financial support of such efforts.

Verisign's ill-advised actions have put DNS and other Internet governance
issues on the radar of many, including myself.  I'm considering an
'individual' ($200/yr) membership to the BIND Forum, and I encourage
others who haven't already to do the same.
