ICANN asks VeriSign to pull redirect service

Mon Sep 22 03:12:14 UTC 2003

It's been about 2 days since ICANN requested Verisign to stop breaking.

http://www.icann.org/announcements/advisory-19sep03.htm

	Recognizing the concerns about the wildcard service, ICANN has called 
        upon VeriSign to voluntarily suspend the service until the various 
        reviews now underway are completed.
