VeriSign Complies with ICANN Demand to Close Site Finder

by on

VeriSign’s introduction of its Site Finder service on September 15 ignited a firestorm of controversy. Today ICANN President and CEO Paul Twomey sent a letter to VeriSign’s Executive VP Russell Lewis stating:

  • “VeriSign must suspend the changes to the .com and .net top-level domains introduced on 15 September 2003 by 6:00 PM PDT on 4 October 2003. Failure to comply with this demand by that time will leave ICANN with no choice but to seek promptly to enforce VeriSign’s contractual obligations.
  • VeriSign complied with this request, and according to this press release, announced the “temporary suspension” of Site Finder.
