One would think it would be equally premature to roll out the service
without first asking the appropriate people for their opinion first,
starting with ICANN.

Looks like the lawsuits are going to be the ones to settle this
dispute...anyone think there's a chance of ICANN pulling .COM and .NET
from Verisign due to breach of contract?  I think it's highly unlikely.
