From a mailing list: the new NSI domain name dispute policy.
One story that rolled in over the holidays but didn’t get much play was the acquisition of Thawte by VeriSign. Both Thawte and and VeriSign are both in the business of providing certificates for secure Web servers. VeriSign just eliminated their only real competition. Bad news for us customers.
